_ _ _ [F#m] As I _ _ [C#] walked out in [F#] the streets _ _ [C#] of _ Laredo, _ _ [F#] as _ I _ [C#] walked out in _ [F#] _ _
Laredo [D#] _ [C#] one day,
_ _ [F#] I _
_ [B] spied a [C#] young cowboy _ _ wrapped up _ in white linen, [F] _ _ [C#] _ [F#] wrapped up in _ [B] white linen _ _ [F#] as cold [C#] as [F#] the plain.
_ _ _ I see _ [C#] by your outfit _ [F#] that you _ are [C#] a cowboy.
_ _ [F#] These words _ he [C#] did say _ as [F#] I _ boldly stepped [C#] _
[F] by.
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] Come _ sit [C#] down beside me [F#] and _ hear my [C#] sad story.
_ [F#] Got shot _ in [B] the breast _ [F#] and I know [C#] I [F#] must _ die.
_ _ [B] _
Beat the drum slowly, _ _ _ [E] _
play the fife _ _ lowly, _ [B] _
play the death march _ _ [C#] as you carry _ _ _ [F#] me along.
_ _ [B] _
Take me to the graveyard _ _ _ [E] and throw _ the sod o'er _ me, [B] for _ I'm a young cowboy _ _ [F#] and I know _ _ _ [B] I've done wrong.

_ _ T [F#]'was _ _ _ [C#] once in the saddle _ _ [F#] I used _ to [C#] go dashing, t [F#]'was once in [C#] the saddle [F#] _ _ I used [G#] to [C#] go gay.
_ _ _ [F#] _
First _ _ [C#] got to drinking, _ _ _ [F#] _
then to _ [C#] cart [D#] playing, _ [F] _ [F#] got shot in [B] the breast and I'm [C#] _
dying _ _ _ today.
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _
Beat the drum _
[C#] slowly, [B] _ _ [E] _
play the fife _ _ lowly, [B] for _ _ I'm a [G#m] young cowboy _ _ [F#] and I know _ I've done wrong.
