Farther Down the Line Willie Nelson

[A] Let's have a [A7] hand for that young [D] cowboy

And wish him better luck next [A] time.

I hope we'll see him up in [E7] Fargo

Or somewhere farther down the [A] line [A7]

This time he sure drew a [D] bad one

One that nobody could [A] ride

By the way he pulled his [E7] hat on

You know he'd be there for the [A] fight

CHORUS:

And it's the [A7] classic contra- [D] diction [GD]

The unavoidable aff- [A] liction.

And it don't take much to pre- [E7] dict, son

The way it always [A] goes [A7]

'Cause one day she says she [D] loves you [GD]

And the next she'll be tired [A] of you

N' push'll always come to [E7] shove you

On that midnight rode- [A] o

INSTRUMENTAL

He almost made it [A7] to the [D] buzzer

Somehow he gave up in the [A] end

He put one hand around the [E7] other

And let that pick-up man on [A] in [A7]

It was his last chance to [D] ride it

Now he'll have to move a-[A] long

But he knows back in his [E7] mind, that

He won't be away for [A] long

CHORUS

So let's have a [A7] hand for that young [D] cowboy [GD]

And wish him better luck next [A] time

I hope we'll see him up in [E7] Fargo

Or somewhere farther down the [A] line

Thanks for help on the lyrics to:

 [A]&nbsp;Let's&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;[A7]&nbsp;hand&nbsp;for&nbsp;that&nbsp;young&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;cowboy 
 And&nbsp;wish&nbsp;him&nbsp;better&nbsp;luck&nbsp;next&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;time. 
 I&nbsp;hope&nbsp;we'll&nbsp;see&nbsp;him&nbsp;up&nbsp;in&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;Fargo 
 Or&nbsp;somewhere&nbsp;farther&nbsp;down&nbsp;the&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;line&nbsp;[A7] 
 This&nbsp;time&nbsp;he&nbsp;sure&nbsp;drew&nbsp;a&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;bad&nbsp;one 
 One&nbsp;that&nbsp;nobody&nbsp;could&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;ride 
 By&nbsp;the&nbsp;way&nbsp;he&nbsp;pulled&nbsp;his&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;hat&nbsp;on 
 You&nbsp;know&nbsp;he'd&nbsp;be&nbsp;there&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;fight 
 
 CHORUS: 
 And&nbsp;it's&nbsp;the&nbsp;[A7]&nbsp;classic&nbsp;contra-&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;diction&nbsp;[GD] 
 The&nbsp;unavoidable&nbsp;aff-&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;liction. 
 And&nbsp;it&nbsp;don't&nbsp;take&nbsp;much&nbsp;to&nbsp;pre-&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;dict,&nbsp;son 
 The&nbsp;way&nbsp;it&nbsp;always&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;goes&nbsp;[A7] 
 'Cause&nbsp;one&nbsp;day&nbsp;she&nbsp;says&nbsp;she&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;loves&nbsp;you&nbsp;[GD] 
 And&nbsp;the&nbsp;next&nbsp;she'll&nbsp;be&nbsp;tired&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;of&nbsp;you 
 N'&nbsp;push'll&nbsp;always&nbsp;come&nbsp;to&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;shove&nbsp;you 
 On&nbsp;that&nbsp;midnight&nbsp;rode-&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;o 
 
 INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 He&nbsp;almost&nbsp;made&nbsp;it&nbsp;[A7]&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;buzzer 
 Somehow&nbsp;he&nbsp;gave&nbsp;up&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;end 
 He&nbsp;put&nbsp;one&nbsp;hand&nbsp;around&nbsp;the&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;other 
 And&nbsp;let&nbsp;that&nbsp;pick-up&nbsp;man&nbsp;on&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;in&nbsp;[A7] 
 It&nbsp;was&nbsp;his&nbsp;last&nbsp;chance&nbsp;to&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;ride&nbsp;it 
 Now&nbsp;he'll&nbsp;have&nbsp;to&nbsp;move&nbsp;a-[A]&nbsp;long 
 But&nbsp;he&nbsp;knows&nbsp;back&nbsp;in&nbsp;his&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;mind,&nbsp;that 
 He&nbsp;won't&nbsp;be&nbsp;away&nbsp;for&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;long 
 
 CHORUS 
 
 So&nbsp;let's&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;[A7]&nbsp;hand&nbsp;for&nbsp;that&nbsp;young&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;cowboy&nbsp;[GD] 
 And&nbsp;wish&nbsp;him&nbsp;better&nbsp;luck&nbsp;next&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;time 
 I&nbsp;hope&nbsp;we'll&nbsp;see&nbsp;him&nbsp;up&nbsp;in&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;Fargo 
 Or&nbsp;somewhere&nbsp;&nbsp;farther&nbsp;down&nbsp;the&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;line
