Verse 1
(C major) As I walked out (G major) in the
streets (C major) of Lare (G major) do,
(C major) As I walked (F major) out in Lare (C major) do one day, (G major)
I (C major) spied a dear cow (G major) boy
wrapped up (C major) in white (G major) linen,
Wrapped (C major) up in white lin (F major) en,
as (C major) cold as the clay. (F major) (C major)
I see by your (G major) outfit
that (C major) you are a (G major) cowboy,
(C major) These words he did (F major) say
as I (C major) boldly stepped (G major) by.
(C major) Come sit down (G major) beside me
and hear (C major) my sad (G major) story
I'm (C major) shot in the (F major) breast and (C major) I
know I must die (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
It was once in the saddle
(G major) I used (C major) to go dashing (G major)
Once (C major) in the (F major) saddle I used (C major) to go gay
(G major) First (C major) to the dram (G major) house
and then (C major) to the card house (G major)
(C major) Got shot in (F major) the breast and
I'm (C major) dying today
Oh, beat the drum slowly (G major)
and play (C major) the fife lowly (G major)
Play (C major) the dead march (F major)
as you carry (C major) me along
(G major) Take me (C major) to the green (G major) valley,
there lay (C major) the sod (G major) or me,
For (C major) I'm a young (F major) cowboy
and I (C major) know I've done wrong.
Oh, bring me a (G major) cup,
just (C major) a cup of cold (G major) water,
(C major) To cool my parched (F major) lips,
the (C major) cowboy then said. (G major)
But before (C major) I re (G major) turned,
his (C major) soul had de (G major) parted,
(C major) And gone to the (F major) round -up,
(C major) the cowboy was dead. (F major) (C major)
We beat the drum slowly (G major)
and played (C major) the fife (G major) lowly,
An (C major) d bitterly wept (F major) as we
(C major) bore him along (G major)
For we (C major) all loved our (G major) comrade
so (C major) brave, young an (G major) d handsome
We (C major) all loved our (F major) comrade,
although (C major) he done (G major) wrong
