Chords for The Streets of Laredo by Waylon Jennings from his The Restless Kid Live at JD's album.

_ _ _ As _ I [C#] walked out in [F#] the streets of [C#] Laredo,
_ [F#] As I walked [C#] out in _ _ Laredo [C#] one day,
_ _ _ I [F#] spied a young cowboy [F#] all wrapped in [C#] white linen,
_ [F#] All wrapped in white linen _ [C#] and cold [F#] as a clay.
_ _ _ _ I see [C#] by your outfit [F#] that you [D#m] are [C#] the cowboy,
[F#] These words he did say _ as I boldly stepped [C#]
by.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Come sit down [C#] beside me [F#] and hear my [C#] sad story,
[F#] I'm shot in the chest [C#] and I'm dying _ [F#]
today. _ _ _ _ _ _
Beat the drum _ _ [B] slowly, play the pipe lowly,
_ [F#] Lay the death march as you carry _ [C#] me along.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Take me to the Green Valley, _ [B] there old Asad or me,
[F#] For I'm a young cowboy, [C#] I know I've [F#] done wrong.
_ _ _ _ Was once in [C#] a saddle, _ [F#] I used to [C#] go dashing,
_ [F#] Once in the saddle _ I used to [C#] go gay.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Was first to [C#] the bunkhouse, [F#] then down [C#] to Roses,
_ [F#] I'm shot in the chest and [C#] I'm dying _ [F#]
today.
_ _ _ _ Let six _ [C#] young gamblers [F#] come carry [C#] my coffin,
[F#] Let sixteen young maidens come sing me [C#] a song.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Take me to the [C#] Green Valley, _ [F#] there old [D#] Asad [C#] or me,
_ [F#] For I'm a young cowboy, [C#] I know I've [F#] done wrong.
_ _ _ _ Beat _ the drum _ slowly, [B] play the pipe lowly,
_ [F#] Lay the death march as you carry me _ [C#]
along.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Take me to the Green Valley, [B] there old Asad or me,
For I'm a young cowboy, I know I've done wrong.
[F#] We all loved our cowboy, [C#] although _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ he [F#] did wrong.
