Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Now old Jake was a cowboy he'd worked
his whole life on the [G]range
And he could [D]rope,
and he [A]could ride with any man just half his [D]age
Old Jake was my hero and me I was
just a green [G]kid
[A]And I prayed that someday I could do
all the things old [D]Jake did
Well we sat around the bunk house one
cold and lonely winter's [G]night
Just chewin' [A]and talkin' and smokin'
by the coal [D]oil light
Well old Jake had been aweful quiet that
evenin' and he stared hard [G]and long
He said young [A]puncher you goin'
to remember me after [D]I'm gone
Whatever happens to old
cowboy heros [G]like me
A [A]broken down part of a man I used [D]to be
Will I be forgotten or live on
in your [G]memory[Em]
[A]Whatever happens to old
cowboy heros like [D]me

[Verse 2]
[D]
It's been a long time and oh
how the years fade [G]away
Well I stopped [A]by the bunk house were
me and old Jake used [D]to stay
They say Jake died about ten years ago and they
buried him out there on [G]the plains
Old [A]friend you might be gone but your memory always
stays [D]the same[G][A][D]
[G][Em][A]
[D]
[A]Whatever happens...
[D]
