Verse 3:(Willie Nelson) D Remington showed us how he looked on canvas A And Louis Lamour told us his tale Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him D And wish to God we could have ridden his trail Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus. D The old chisom trail is covered in concrete G They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs A They roll by his graveside and don't even notice D Like living and dieing was all he ever did Chorus.
