Song for Ian Tyson Old Man Luedecke
Capo on first fret
Intro is G/D/G
[G]Them old cowboys d[G]on't sing too mu[C]ch no more[G]
The[D]y've been singing to the wind
An[C]d their throats are sore[G]
And[G] every love they rode away from makes them wa[C]lk the floor[G]
Them old[D] cowboys don't sing too [C]much no more. Ooh-ooh-oooh.[G]
Li[G]ke an old wolf in a leg trap
The[C]y'll stand up fierce when you come[G]
The[D]y want to be counted but t[C]heir time hasn't come [G]
Jus[G]t an old man drowning in a t[C]en gallon hat[G]
Like an old [D]wolf caught in a leg trap[G]
Chorus:
D[C]ry and dusty [D]dry and dusty [G]whiskey makes the[D] guitar rusty[C]
B[G]ut soothes the voice like honey for a wh[D]ile
R[C]aise a glass to th[D]e cowboy friend who's lik[C]e we'll never[D] see again
W[C]hos songs run o[D]n like water for al[G]l time. Ooh-oo-oooh.
Way[G] out on the prairie the cowboy wrote hi[C]s songs[G]
Lon[D]g have grown the grasses round the sp[C]ring where he sat long[G]
Who's crystal shattered fettered souls
[C]Of all who liste[G]ned long and the [D]cowboy strummed in time along[G]
Chorus
(repeat last line chorus end on C) then G/D/C/G
