[Verse 1]
A D A Bm
I was there when they opened the boxcar
D A Bm
Found him stone dead on the floor
D A
Though thumbing and bumming was all of our trade
B E A
No one had seen him before
[Verse 2]
D A Bm
He wore the face of a stranger
D A Bm
Lost and unseen in the crowd
D A
He looked so small when we carried him down
B E A
Wrapped in a newspaper shroud
[Chorus]
D A Bm
The wind blows cold in Wyoming
D A Bm
The stars shine clear and bright
D A
If you don't wake up tomorrow at all
B E A
I guess it's old buddy goodnight
[Verse 3]
A D A Bm
His hair was the color of winter
D A Bm
Streaked with iron and coal
D A
And all you could see in his soft prairie eyes
B E A
Was the wind and the rain and the snow
[Verse 4]
Bm
The backs of his hands were like roadmaps
D A Bm
The lines on his face were the same
D A
And on his arm a faded tattoo
B E A
Bordered a rose and a name
[Chorus]
Bm
The wind blows cold in Wyoming
D A Bm
The stars shine clear and bright
D A
If you don't wake up tomorrow at all
B E A
I guess it's old buddy goodnight
[Verse 5]
A Bm
Now I don't know where he came from
D A Bm
His train was a U P freight
D A
If there's someone waiting for him down the line
B E A
He'll be a little bit late
[Verse 6]
Bm
Give him a line in your paper
D A Bm
Here's what I want you to say
D A
There's some things worse than dying alone
B E A
And one of 'em's living that way
[Chorus]
Bm
The wind blows cold in Wyoming
D A Bm
The stars shine clear and bright
D A
If you don't wake up tomorrow at all
B E A Am A
I guess it's old buddy goodnight
