Standard (EADGBE)
Intro riff
x2
There's a couple different ways to play this, it don't matta
you can either hammer on instead of sliding up
I like to play it like this:
Verse
To old cowboys the wind often whispers
Sweet reminders of where they belong
On the back of a horse in a worn-out saddle
Singin' a sweet country song
Singin' a sweet country song
Intro riff
x2
To old cowboys the wind often whispers
Some remember the right and the wrong
Trust a good wind and gun, don't be stupid, 'cause a
Bad wind is wicked and strong
A bad wind is wicked and strong
Chorus
And those big winds still blow across Wyoming
To old cowboys, it's all they've ever known
How those big winds still blow across Wyoming
From Cheyenne clear to Yellowstone
From Cheyenne clear to Yellowstone
Solo
messes around riff at first, just listen
G diatonic is played
Play chorus chords over banjo solo
To old cowboys the wind often whispers
Son, remember the sweet bye and bye
Remember the day 'cause there's times a comin'
They'll be no place left for you and I
They'll be no place left for you and I
Chorus
End on:
Thanks much
