Subject: RE: Lyr Add: ADIOS (Cowboy)
Chords for "Adios." (note) = ca. 50, 4# 6/8

In a (EM)valley high up in the mountains,
With the wind like a knife on their (B7)cheeks,
They carried ol' Mac to his restin'
When winter lay white on the (EM)peaks.

Katie Lee, Ten Thousand Goddam Cattle, p. 187-188.
Katie Lee places this song in the Third Period of cowboy history ((3) "Third Period. The real cowboys and the real cowboy writers, written with know-how about themselves").
