[Verse 1]
C G7 C G7 As I walked out in the streets of Laredo C F C G7 As I walked out in Laredo one day C G7 C G7 I spied a young cowboy wrapped all in white linen C F C/G G C Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
[Chorus]
G G7 C Oh, beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly G A7 D7 Sing the Death March as you carry me along G G7 C Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me G D7 G7 I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
[Verse 2]
C G7 C G7 I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy C F C G7 These words he did say as I boldly walked by C G7 C G7 "Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story C C7 F C/G G C Got shot in the breast and I know I must die"
[Chorus]
G G7 C Beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly G A7 D7 Sing the Death March as you carry me along G G7 C Take me to the green valleys, there lay the sod o'er me G D7 G7 I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
[Verse 3]
C G7 C G7 "Go fetch me some water, a cool drink of water C F C G7 To cool my parched lips," the poor cowboy said C G7 C G7 Before I returned, his spirit had left him C C7 F C/G G C He had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead
[Chorus]
G G7 C Beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly G A7 D7 Sing the Death March as you carry me along G C Take me to the green valleys, there lay the sod o'er me G D7 G7 I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
[Outro]
C G7 C I'm a young cowboy and I known I've done wrong
