Verse 1
D
A
D
A
As I walked out in
Bm
A
the streets of Laredo,
D
A
Bm
A
I walked out in Laredo one day.
D
A
I spied a young cowboy
Bm
A
wrapped up in white linen
D
Em
Wrapped in white linen
A
and cold as the clay
D
A
I see by your outfit
Bm
A
that you are a cowboy
D
A
These words he did say
Bm
A
as I boldly stepped by
D
A
Come sit down beside me
Bm
A
and hear my sad story
D
Em
A
D
Shot in the breast and I know I must die
A
Oh, beat the drum slowly
Bm
A
and play the fife lowly
Bm
D
A
Play the dead march
Bm
A
as you carry me along
D
A
Take me to the valley
Bm
A
and lay the sod o 'er me
D
Em
I'm a young cowboy,
A
D
I know I've done wrong
A
Bm
Once in the saddle, I used to go dashing
A
D
A
Bm
A
Once in the saddle, I used to go gazing
D
A
First to the drem house
Bm
A
and then to the cart house
D
Em
Got shot in the breast
A
D
and I'm dying today
A
Go bring me some water,
Bm
A
a cool cup of water
D
A
To cool my parched lips,
Bm
A
the young cowboy said
D
A
Bm
A
And before I returned, his spirit had left
D
Em
And gone to his maker,
A
the cowboy was dead
D
A
We beat the drum slowly
Bm
A
and played the fife lowly
D
A
Bm
A
Bitterly wept as we bore him alone
D
A
We all loved our comrade,
Bm
A
so brave, young, and handsome
D
Em
We all loved our comrade,
A
although he'd done more
D
