   F        C7            F          C7 
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo 
   F        Bb        F        C7 
As I walked out in Laredo one day 
    F            C7          F               C7       
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen 
  F               Bb       C7           F 
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay 


   F           C7          F         C7 
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy 
  F                 Bb       F            C7 
These words he did say as I boldly walked by 
      F          C7          F            C7    
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story 
      F           Bb          C7          F 
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die 


       F            C7      F           C7 
It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing 
F            Bb      F           C7 
Once in the saddle I used to go gay 
 F             C7           F          C7    
First down to Rosie's and then to the card house 
      F           Bb            C7      F 
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today 


     F       C7          F         C7 
Get sixteen gamblers to handle my coffin 
     F         Bb         F         C7 
Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song 
 F               C7           F          C7    
Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me 
    F            Bb          C7             F 
For I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong 


     F         C7         F        C7 
Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin 
     F          Bb         F         C7 
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song 
 F              C7         F          C7    
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me 
    F            Bb         C7              F 
For I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong 


    F              C7         F            C7 
Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly 
  F            Bb            F         C7 
Play the Dead March as they carry me along 
     F          C7       F        C7    
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin 
 F        Bb          C7           F 
Roses to deaden the clods as they fall 


   F        C7            F          C7 
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo 
   F        Bb        F        C7 
As I walked out in Laredo one day 
    F            C7          F               C7    
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen 
  F               Bb       C7           F 
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
