Doug Sahm - "Nuevo Laredo" [Live from Austin TX] chords
Start Jamming...
[D] Okay, I'll play that.
That's your reminder, I forgot [N] that one.
You did say be real, right?
Okay, [Dm] I'll get that.
Okay, here you go.
For all [N] the little boys that grew up in Texas,
this song will be real close to [Dm] your hearts.
[D] After drunken football games on Friday nights.
[G] [D] In [Dm] a little [D] border town
[Dm]
Way down there in Navo [A] Laredo, Mexico
I saw this singer reach down there
With those two-a-long black cats
As I cut a trail on the way [D] to walk down
Well, we smoked and drank the night away
In a dim lit lit cafe
Known as what a Navo did [A] to the people
On the scene, work
Played the blues till early dawn
Everybody sang along
We had such a ball at [D] Navo Laredo
Navo Laredo Navo Laredo
[A] Hear me call her, [Em] that's the name
[A] [G] Anytime
[D] Now, leave the lonely out there
[A]
[D] [A]
[D] She was sitting on that old bus boot
Looking like nobody knew
But I said that she was [A] gone
If your heart is gonna beat
Skip this can of about 6.3
Say, hey, duck and pause, she's a coy one, indeed
Then I thought I was half a [D] Navo Laredo
Navo Laredo Navo Laredo
[A] Hear me call her, that's the [Em] name
[A] [G] Anytime
And [D] all is glory
Navo Laredo Navo Laredo Navo Laredo Navo Laredo
[N]
Everybody was the Beatles, but that was another day
At Navo Laredo, get down with mama
