[Verse 1]
D                        G
She met him one night in Laredo

       D                    A
Just a wild comanchero they say

     D                          G
They told her that he'd been an outlaw

    A                      D
And she'd have to send him away
[Verse 2]
D                              G
They warned her of toil and of hardships

      D                               A
And a life filled with heartaches and tears

     D                     G
Then one day he sent her a message

    A                         D
The one she'd been waiting to hear
[Chorus]
G
Meet me tonight in Laredo

                             D
Wait till the moon's hanging low

D
Meet me tonight in Laredo

      D              G      A
We'll soon be in old Mexico
[Verse 3]
D                                     G
That night as they slipped through the darkness

       D                             A
To the trail where their horses were tied

   D                      G
He whispered a prayer for tomorrow

     A                        D
That she would be safe by his side
[Verse 4]
D                                 G
She smiled as they climbed in the saddle

       D                       A
And as swift as a wild prairie wind

     D                 G
They rode to the Madre Sierra

          A                D
Repeating these words once again
[Chorus]
G
Meet me tonight in Laredo

                             D
Wait till the moon's hanging low

D
Meet me tonight in Laredo

      D              G      A
We'll soon be in old Mexico
[Verse 5]
D                G
Now in their own hacienda

       D                     A
In the glow of a soft candle light

    D                      G
The hands that once held a sixgun

    A                  D
Are holding their baby tonight
[Verse 6]
D                          G
She echoes his God will go with us

       D                             A
And at night when the moon's hanging low

    D                    G
She smiles as she fondly remembers

    A                      D
The words he had said long ago
[Chorus]
G
Meet me tonight in Laredo

                             D
Wait till the moon's hanging low

D
Meet me tonight in Laredo

      D              G      A
We'll soon be in old Mexico
