♫ Intro:

D MajorD


♫ Verse 1:
                   A augmentedA
As I walked out, in the streets of Laredo
D MajorD               A augmentedA
As I walked out, in Laredo one day
 D MajorD                    A augmentedA
I saw a young cowboy, all dressed in white linen
D MajorD            A/EA/E      D MajorD
Dressed in white linen, as cold as the clay

♫ Chorus:
D/AD/A  D MajorD            G+G
So-o, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
D MajorD              E MajorE     A augmentedA
Play the death march, as you carry me along
    D MajorD              G+G
Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me
  D MajorD            A augmentedA       D MajorD
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

♫ Verse 2:
D MajorD                A augmentedA
Once in the saddle
I used to go dashing
D MajorD                A augmentedA
Once in the saddle
I used to go gay
D MajorD                   D7/F#D7/F#
First to the card house and then down to Rosie's
A augmentedA    D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD    E MajorE
 But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dyin' today

♫ Verse 3:
D MajorD                    A augmentedA
Bring sixteen tall cowboys, to carry my casket
D MajorD               A augmentedA
Ten pretty women, to sing me a song
    D MajorD                    A augmentedA
Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me
D MajorD              A augmentedA       D MajorD
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

♫ Chorus:
D/AD/A    D MajorD            G+G
Plea-ease, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
D MajorD              E MajorE     A augmentedA
Play the death march, as you carry me along
    D MajorD              G+G
Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me
  D MajorD            A augmentedA       D MajorD
For I'm a young cowboy and I know - I've - done - wrong
