(intro) D G D A D

          D                                 G               D                                 A
Goodbye to the pals of the prairie, goodbye to the pals of the plains,
          D                                   G                   A                                        D
goodbye to the dash and the danger, goodbye to the heartaches and pains.

    Goodbye to my faithful old pony, take care of him, boys, when I go,
          D                               G                            A                           D
    I'm riding away on life's roundup away to where the sun sinks low.

               D                                  G                 D                                  A
    Goodbye to the hoof-rushing cattle, goodbye to the clanking of spurs,
              D                                      G                 A                                   D
    goodbye to the laugh and the chatter, goodbye to the wildlife and steers.

               D                                      G                   D                                  A
    Goodbye to the dawning's first blushes that spare in the east faintly glow,
           D                              G               A                                        D
    I'm riding away on life's roundup, away to where the sun sinks low.

               D                                  G               D                       A
    Goodbye to the girls and the boys, goodbye to all of my friends,
              D                                      G                       A                     D
    goodbye to the dear girl, my sweetheart, for I know this is my end.

                  D                                     G
    For the pale rider comes with his summons,
                   D                            A
    and I'm willing and ready to go,
                D                              G                     A                                    D
    for I'm riding away on life's roundup, far away where the sun sinks low.
