Last Driftin' Cowboy
by Hank Williams, Jr.
127 Rose Avenue

Key: A Major

A
1949 

sure was a way back when

D
But that's when they formed the band who influenced 

all of the music since then

E7
The twenty-five year old singer

was the king of moanin' the blues

D
His words would make you feel

And with that cryin' steel

Why they just 

over powered you

VERSE 2

A
I was one of the lucky few that

got to play with him

D
when I turned twenty-one he told me

son, I'm gonna fill you in

E7
don't believe that stuff about your dad bein'

sad to the end

D
He knew how to have fun

He owned the music son
 	  	  	  	      
He was a sharp dressed ramblin' man

VERSE 3

A
Well now I gotta tell ya somethin'

I want the world to know

D
It's gonna shake your boots

and it might chill your soul

E7
'cause I just got the news

not too long ago

D
I've gotta break it to you

(No Guitar)
It's the...end of the show

(Slower tempo)

A 	  	  	         D
The last driftin' cowboy is gone

E7
Our one link to Hank

 	  	  A
and those great songs

A
I'm gonna play his steel guitar licks

 	   D
all night long

E7
'cause the last driftin' cowboy has

                       A
found his way home
