--------------------------- G
      G
He's riding the plains living up to his name

        C                        G
As the next to the last true romantic

    C                        G
He knows that his story is tragic

              Am
But he can't rest

          D
Til he's next

    G
To you

        G
All the girls know his fame the men curse his name

          C                        G
And they talk about him like he's magic

              C                       G
But he's the next to the last true romantic

             Am
And he can't rest

         D
Til he's next

   G
To you

            C
He's stolen hearts like they're horses

    C  C        C      C        G
And horses when hearts can't be found

          C                       C            C   C     D
He keeps riding from one horse to one horse to one horse towns
(It gets him down)
     G
He know's he's a fool to get caught up with you

              C                       G
But he's the next to the last true romantic

          C                        G
He can't let go of love once he's had it

              Am
And he can't rest

          D
Til he's next

    G
To you

                  C
There's always whiskey and women

    C  C      C   C   G
And women and whiskey around

          C                          C        C     C       D
He can't tell which is worse to be dying of thirst or to drown
(It gets him down)
        G
So he smiles through the pain he pinched Estelle he danced with Jane

           C                         G
Sometimes even he don't know how he stands it

              C                       G
But he's the next to the last true romantic

              Am
And he can't rest

          D
Til he's next

    G
To you

             Am
And he can't rest

          D
Til he's next

    G
To you
