G Bm C Em Em/DC C D

[Verse 1]
G Bm
It was on the day the cowboys were banned from the range
C Em
Middle touch world as a master
D C
They rode their ponies down into cities of gold
C D
To leave 'em forever after
G Bm
Now the sun was swollen, red, and old
C Em
The earth it was windy, dark, and cold
D C
Where the highway ends the desert takes its toll
C D
So dusty, red, and angry
Em
It was a time when men died out on the praire
Bm
From not having a decent friend
C C/B C/A C/G
At night the ghosts of them old rough riders
Dsus4 D
Was a howl in the canyon winds
[Chorus]
G Bm C D
You can hear 'em crying
G Bm C D
Good God, I think they're dying
[Interlude]
G Bm C D

[Verse 2]
G Bm C Em
And them rangers down in Dallas had all but given it up and left
D C D
And those that hung on hoping were trying their best to, to forget
G Bm C Em
The way those outlaws and desperadoes right from the cheapest to the best
D C D
Rode in on ponies made of skin and bones, gave up their rusty guns and went back home
Em Bm
And the governor was sent down from Population Control and martial law was passed
C C/B C/A C/G Dsus4 D
Riverboat gamblers put their money on faith, for the time for hope they passed
[Interlude]
G F C Bb DmDm/CDm

[Verse 3]
G Bm C Em
In the cold blue light of the desert night there was a thousand starships
D C D
And men came down from still I don't know where with death on their fingertips
G Bm C Em
Now there's no more kings in Texas, I swear they rounded up each and every one
D Am C D
And oh, that line of Conestoga reached from the Rocky Mountains into the old dead sun
Em Bm
Now Anna Maria walks the plains alone, last of a struggling people
C C/B C/A C/G Dsus4 D
She thinks of all those outlaws who once reached for the sky and got stuck up on that steeple
[Chorus]
G Bm C D
Ooh, you can hear 'em crying
G Bm C D
Good God, I think they're dying
G Bm C D
Ooh, in the wind George you can hear 'em sigh
[Outro]
