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