So beat the drum slowly, [A] and play the five lowly,
[F#m]
[E] Play the death march [F#] as you carry me [B] along.
[E] Take me to the green valley, [A] there lay the sod or me,
[F#m]
[E] For I'm a young cowboy, I [F#] know [B] I'm done [E] wrong.
As I walked [E] out in the streets [B] of Laredo,
[E]
As I walked out in Laredo [B] one,
[E] I saw a [B] young cowboy all [Em] dressed in white [B] linen,
[E] Dressed in [A] white linen [B] as cold as [E]
snow.
So beat the drum slowly, [A] and play the five lowly,
[F#m] [E]
Play the death march as [F#] you carry [B] me along.
[Em] Take me to the green [E] valley, [A] there lay the sod or me,
[F#m] [E] For I'm a young cowboy, [F#] I know [B] I'm done [E]
wrong.
[B]
Once in the saddle [E] I used [B] to go dashing,
[E] Once in the saddle I [B] used to go gazing.
First to the cart [E] house and then down [B] to Rosie's,
[E] But I'm shot [A] in the breast and [B] lying
[E] today.
[B] Bring sixteen tall cowboys to carry my casket,
[E] Ten pretty women to sing me [B] a song.
[E] Take me to the green valley, there lay the [B] sod or [E] me,
For I'm a young [A] cowboy and I [B] am
[E]
done wrong.
