  C5                  Bb5  
You've always been a friend of mine  
               F5                          
and that's the way we'll be til the day I die  
    C5      Bb5                F5  
It's good to know you're on my side  
     C5                   Bb5  
Cause know you know she's leaving me  
      F5                    
And I need your help to make her see  
   C5               Bb5          F5    
So turn on your charm and let it shine  
     G5                      
Cause you've always been the one who   
     A5  
Could make her stay around  
F5  
So when we she gets to the city limit sign  
 G5  
Don't let me down

Oh Lardeo, don't let her go

Just take her by the heart  
            G5            A5  A5  
And let the wheels turn slow  
D5  A5                G5       A5   
Oh Lardeo, you're my only hope  
    E5                         A5   
So take her back to the day we met  
   E5                A5

        B5  D5              G5  A5

        D5   (play Intro)   
Oh Laredo  
  
(lyrics and chord diagrams follow, chord progression remains the same)  
  
Make her think about the moonlit walks and   
the long, long talks by the water's edge  
With her feet hanging of the Cane Creek bridge  
And bring to mind the first kiss we shared   
at the old town square   
when she drives down there  
Cause that's a day she said she could never forget  
Keep the nights by the candlelight as an ace in the hole  
'Cause those are nights of passion   
that I know will bring her home  
  
  
Oh Lardeo, don't let her go  
Just take her by the heart  
And let the wheels turn slow  
Oh Lardeo, you're my only hope  
So take her back to the day we met  
cause thats as far as she needs to get  
oh but please don't let her go  
Oh Laredo  
  
Oh Lardeo, don't let her go  
Just take her by the heart  
And let the wheels turn slow  
Oh Lardeo, you're my only hope  
So take her back to the day we met  
cause thats as far as she needs to get  
oh but please don't let her go  
Oh Laredo
