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