Willie Nelson - Last Stand in Open Country

heels_fan_1 at yahoo.com  July 8  2002


There are some options instead of the B chord at 
the end of the verses.  B sounds good,and  B7 .  And 
lastly the bass player plays a D# so you if like 
to work the bass line with you chords you could play
 B/D# if you know how, I don't. Anything sounds
good. But i'm pretty sure it's a B7 in the verse
and a B in the chorus.

        E                                A
I was looking for america, in a western movie
       C#m                                  A
Saw a young gun slinger with something to prove
       F#m
and I came looking, like anybody else
        C#m
I cam searching, like anybody else
  D                      B
looking for that golden calf

              E                               A       
And I came shooting for the stars, like any young blood
          C#m                         A
I found a fat cat city, and crooked judge
           F#m
I killed anything, standing in my path
           C#m
I killed anything, till I laid my hands
D                      B
laid em' on the golden calf
      
              E                   C#m
Now it's our last stand in open country
            E                      C#m
This is my last chance to be with you
             A                   C#m
This is the last dance, o for this kind of man
                 A         B            E
and I'm still lookin' for something to prove

        E                                A
I can around full circle, aged like an old dog
C#m                                          A
Lookin' for them young bucks, just green as frogs
         F#m         
I ain't laying back, no time to laugh
         C#m
I ain't laying back, theres a new kid coming
D                       B
gunnin' for that golden calf

            E                                A
And I was looking for america in a western movie
   C#m                       
I saw Pike Bishop striding through Agraverde??? 
         F#m     
He was headed down, that dusty path
C#m       
Headed down to that blood bath
D                          B
Chasin' down that golden calf


              E                   C#m
Now it's our last stand in open country
            E                      C#m
This is my last chance to be with you
             A                   C#m
This is the last dance, o for this kind of man
                 A     B              E
and I'm still lookin' for something to prove

           F#m                  G#m 
But theres always someone faster, 
                 A
Yeah Someone quicker on the draw
     F#m               G#m     A
Someone with a hunger closin' in
        B                F#m   G#m     A       B
someone younger steppin' up to be the next outlaw

              E                    C#m
Now it's our last stand in open country
             E                    C#m
This is my last change to be with you
              A                  C#m
This is the last dance, o for this kind of man
                A          B            E
and I'm still lookin' for something to prove
                A          B            E
and I'm still lookin' for something to prove


Continue with E and C#m through the end of the song
while singing parts of the chorus.
