[Intro]

[Verse 1]
                                     A
As I walked out, in the streets of Laredo
D                              A
As I walked out, in Laredo one day
  D                                        A
I saw a young cowboy, all dressed in white linen
D                       A/E            D
Dressed in white linen, as cold as the clay
 
[Chorus]
D/A   D                        G
So-o, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
D                            E         A
Play the death march, as you carry me along
        D                            G
Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me
    D                        A              D
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
 
[Verse 2]
D                                A
Once in the saddle, I used to go dashing
D                                A
Once in the saddle, I used to go gay
D                                     D7/F#
First to the card house and then down to Rosie's
A        D           G              D       E
 But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dyin' today
 
[Verse 3]
D                                       A
Bring sixteen tall cowboys, to carry my casket
D                              A
Ten pretty women, to sing me a song
        D                                        A
Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me
D                            A              D
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
 
[Chorus]
D/A        D                        G
Plea-ease, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
D                            E         A
Play the death march, as you carry me along
        D                            G
Take me to the green valley, they'll lay the sod o'er me
    D                        A             D
For I'm a young cowboy and I know - I've - done - wrong
