[Verse 3]
     G             D          
In spring we\'d be gathered by
     G            C
 the banks of the Brazos
    G                         D Asus4 D
By fall we\'d be settled in Denver
G        D                G        C
John I live, by what the army had left us
    G         D            G
We try to be home by the winter

[Pre-Chorus]
  G                        
Barbed wire and esters and
  C*
 mould-board plows
C*                         
Make us all useless as the
              D Asus4 D
 horns on our cows
  C*             D             
While the steam engines whistle,
   G        C*
 sound us farewell.

On the Goodnight-Loving Trail,

Watch out for Comanches, rustle
       C*
 your sheep
        G                        D Asus4 D
Watch closely the hand of the stranger
G        D         G     C*
Mexican bandits, gringo horsetheives
       G             D        G
The trail life has plenty of dangers

     G                     
And barbed wire and esters 
    C*
and mould-board plows
C*                         
Make us all useless as the
               D Asus4 D
 horns on our cows
  C*              D            
While the steam engines whistle,
    G        C*
 sound us farewell.

On the Goodnight-Loving Trail,

driving the Goodnight-Loving Trail
