He told a good story
And all us [D] kids listened
About his [G] life on [D] the border and the way it [A] was then and
[D] we all
believe
When he would finish
We'd ask the old cowboy
[A] Tell him
[D] again
[C#m] You [Bm] could almost hear
[D] Those prairie winds below
his [Bm] saddle
Creaking [D] neat as old [A] faded jeans
You [D] can take the dry dust from the trail [G] he was [D] riding
As he sat there and he painted
[A] those West [D] Texas scene
[F#m] And [G] the grown-ups would tell [D] us you boys keep your
Distance [E] that old man's just telling you [A] lie
[D] But to all skis
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true [A] as his blue [D] text sky
He told the time
When he rode with the Rangers
down
The Paco's and he [A] saved the day
[D] Outnumbered by plenty
They were [G] almost to [D] cover
with 30
Bandidos
[A] headed [D] their way
[C#m] He [Bm] looked back just in time
[D] See a horse stumble
[C#m] The [Bm] captain went down and [D] bill pulled up [A] on his rain
Through
[D] He rescued [G] the [D] captain they rode [G] [D] for a sunset [A] just story
[D]
remain
[F#m] and
[G] Rona would tell
[D] You boys keep your distance [E]
that old man is just telling you [A] lies
[C#] [D] But you all skis
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true [A] as his blue text [D] sky
[D#m]
[E] I still
remember
the day that it happened
We waited and we waited
but Bill [B] never show
[E] the folks at the feed store
Said they hadn't seen him.
So we set out [A] for [E] his place
[B] down old [E] Grimsville row
[C#m] And we cried when we found him [E] lying there where this memories [D#m] [C#m] the old
Thing [E]
scattered
[B] He [E] was clutching
That said in Texas Ranger and in old yellow letter
[B] Said Texas [E] is proud
And [A] those grown-ups that told us [E] you boys keep your distance
[F#] That old man is just telling [B] you lies
I
