[Intro]

[Verse 1]
[tab]     G
On a winter night in Webb County, Texas

                                    Bm
On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande

      C
I was watching the jungle fires a-burnin'

           G                          D
Across the border of a not-so-distant land

         G
And the echoes of the church bells that were swingin'

                                     Bm
Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square

            C
There was a girl down there in the south side of the river

        G                                 D
She had feathers tied into her long black hair
[Chorus]
    C
And if I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow

              G                                D
Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue

        G       G/F#     Em          C
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo

D                             G
Wishing I was rolling back to you
[Verse 2]
      G
I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie

                                 Bm
I painted up my eyes and wore my beads

            C
There was a band playing "To God Be the Glory"

           G                             D
There were people dancing all around the street

           G
There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burning

                                      Bm
And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands

      C
And I swear I heard those church bells ringing

           G                          D
'Cross the border of a not-so-distant land
[Chorus]
          C
Singin', "If I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow

              G                                D
Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue

        G       G/F#     Em          C
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo

D                             G
Wishing I was rolling back to you"

    C
And if I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow

              G                                D
Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue

        G       G/F#     Em          C
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo

D                             G
Wishing I was rolling back to you
[Outro]
    G       G/F#     Em          C
I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo

D                          F     C  G
Wishing I was rolling back   to you

           F            C          G
Wish I was rolling back,  back to you

           F       C          G
Wish I was rolling   back to you

           F       C          G
Wish I was rolling   back to you
