As _ I _ [E] walked out in [A] the _ streets [E] of _ _ Laredo, [A] As I _ [D] walked out in _ [A] _ _ _ Laredo one [E] _
day,
_ [A] I _ spied a [E] young _ cowboy [A] wrapped _ up in [E] white linen, _
[A] Wrapped up in [D] white linen _ and [A] _ [C#m] cold [G] _
[A] as the clay. _ _ _
_ _ I see _ by [E] your outfit _ [A] that you are [E] a cowboy, _
_ [G#] These _ words [D] he did say as [A] I boldly [E] stepped
by, _ _ [A] Come sit _ down [E] beside _ me, [A] _ hear my [E] sad story,
_ [A] Got _ _ shard [D] in the breast _ [D#] and I know [Bm] I [A] must _ _ [F#m]
die.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, beat the drum _ slowly, _ _ [D] lay the fife _ lowly, _ [A] _ Lay the dead _ march as [F#m] you _ carry [C#m] me _ along,
[E] _ [A] Take me to Green _ Valley, _ [D] _ throw the sod over me,
[A] For _ I'm a young cowboy _ [E] and I know I've [A] done _ _ wrong. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ T'was _ _ once [E] in the saddle _ _ [A] I _ used to go [E] _ dashing, [A] T'was once in [D] the saddle _ [A] I _ used to [E] go gay, _
_ [A] First _ got a [E] _
_ _ _ -drankin', [A] _ then to card [E] _ _ playin', Got [A] _
shard in the [D] _ breast _ [A] and you see where I lay.
_ _ Go bring _ [E] me a cup, _ [A] a cup of [E] cold [D] _ water, _ To cool my parched lips _ with, [A] the _ cowboy [Bm] then
said, _ _ [A] Before _ _ I [E] got to him, [A] the _ _ spirit had [E]
left him,
_ [A] And gone [D] to its maker, _ [A] the [Em] cowboy _ [A] was dead. _
_ _ _ _ _ We _ beat the drum _ slowly, _ [D] _ played _ the fife _ lowly, _ [A] And _ _ bitterly wept _ as [D#] we bore him [C#m] along,
_ [F#m] _
For we all _ loved our _ [C#] comrade, [D] so brave _ and so _ handsome,
_ [A] We loved our young _ cowboy, _ [E] although _ _ _ he'd [A] done _ wrong. _ _ _ _
