As I [B] walked out on [E] the streets of [B] Laredo,
As [G#m] I [A] walked out [E] in Laredo [B] one day,
[E] I spied a [B] young cowboy [E] wrapped up in white [B] linen,
[B] Wrapped [C#m] up in white [F#m] linen and cold as [E] the clay.
I see by your [B] outfit [E] that you are a [B] cowboy,
[E] These words he did [A] say as [E] I boldly walked [B] by.
[E] Come sit down [B] beside me [E] and hear my sad [B] story,
[C#m] I'm shot in the [F#m] breast and [B] I know I [E] must die.
Oh, beat the [B] drum slowly [E] and play the [B] fife lowly,
[Bm]
[E] Play the dead [A] march as [E] you carry me [B] along,
[E] Take me to the green [B] valley [E] and play the [B] sorrow rain,
[C#m] For I'm a young [F#m] cowboy [B] and I know I've [E] done it wrong.
It was once in [B] the saddle [E] I used to go [B] dashing,
[E] It was once [A] in the saddle [E] I used to go [B] gazing,
[E] First to the [B] drum house [E] and then to the [B] cart house,
[C#m] Got shot in the [F#m] breast and [B] I'm dying [E] today.
Go gather [B] around you [E] a group of [B] young cowboys,
[E] Tell them [A] the story [E] of this my [B] sad fate,
[E] Tell one and [B] the other [E] before they go [B] further,
[C#m]
Stop their [F#m] wild roaming before [B] it's too [E] late.
We beat the drum [B]
slowly [E] and play the fife [B]
lowly,
[E] And bitterly [A] wept as we [E] bore him [B]
along,
For [E] we all loved [B] our comrade [E] so brave, young [B] and handsome,
[C#m] We all loved [F#m]
our comrade [B] although he'd [E] done wrong.
