[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
A As I walked out, in the streets of Laredo D A As I walked out, in Laredo one day D A I saw a young cowboy, all dressed in white linen D A/E D Dressed in white linen, as cold as the clay
[Chorus]
D/A D G So-o, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly D E A Play the death march, as you carry me along D G Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me D A D For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
[Verse 2]
D A Once in the saddle, I used to go dashing D A Once in the saddle, I used to go gay D D7/F# First to the card house and then down to Rosie's A D G D E But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dyin' today
[Verse 3]
D A Bring sixteen tall cowboys, to carry my casket D A Ten pretty women, to sing me a song D A Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me D A D For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
[Chorus]
D/A D G Plea-ease, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly D E A Play the death march, as you carry me along D G Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me D A D For I'm a young cowboy and I know - I've - done - wrong
