C Em As I walked out in the streets of Laredo Am D7 G As I walked out in Laredo one day C Am I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen D7 G C Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay C G Em Am I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy D7 G These words he did say as I boldly walked by C G Em Am Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story D7 G C I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die C E7 It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing Am D7 G Once in the saddle I used to go gay C Em Am First down to Rosie's and then to the card house D7 G7 C Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today C G Em Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin Am D7 G Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song C G Em Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me Am D7 G C For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong C G Em Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin Am D7 G Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song C Em Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me Am D7 G C For I'm a young cowboy, I know I've done wrong G Em Am Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Am D7 G Play the Dead March as they carry me along C G Em Am Put bunches of roses all over my coffin Am D7 G C Roses to deaden the clods as they fall C G Em As I walked out in the streets of Laredo Am D7 G As I walked out in Laredo one day C G Em I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen Am D7 G C Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
