Intro 1
(C major) (A flat major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
As (C major) I walked out
(A flat major) in the streets (C major) of Laredo,
As I walked out in Laredo one (G major) day,
I spied (C major) a young cowboy
wrapped in white linen, (G major)
wrapped (C major) in white linen (G major) as cold as (C major) the clay.
I see by your outfit (G major) that
(C major) you are a cowboy,
(G major) these (C major) words he did say
as I boldly walk (G major) by.
Come sit (C major) down beside me, (G major)
(C major) hear my sad story,
Shot in the breast,
and I (G major) know I must die. (C major) (G major) (C major)
It was once in the saddle (G major) I
used (C major) to go dashing,
Once in the saddle I used to go gay. (G major)
First (C major) a -drinkin' (G major) (A flat major) (G major) and
(C major) then to card playin'
Shot in the breast, (G major) (C major) I'm dyin' (G major) today (C major)
Get six jolly cowboys (G major)
to (C major) carry my coffin
Six birdie maidens to carry my paw (G major)
Put bunches (C major) of roses (G major) (A flat major) all
(C major) over my coffin,
Roses to deaden the (G major) clots as they fall. (C major) (G major) (C major)
Oh, beat the drum slowly, (G major)
(C major) play the fife lowly,
Play the dead march (G major)
(C major) as you carry me along. (G major)
Take me (C major) to the valley,
lay the sod o 'er me,
I'm a young cowboy,
and oh, (G major) I've (C major) done wrong.
