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