VERSE ONE 
 

D5           A5           D5            A5      
As I walked out in the streets of Lar-edo, 
   D5        A5         D5        A5 
as I walked out in Lar-edo one day. 
  D5              A5             D5             A5 
I spied a young cowboy wrapped all in white linen. 
 D5                A5       D5    A5      D5  
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay. 

Refr?o -------------
   D5               A5           D5             A5 
Oh beat the drums slowly..and play the pipe lowly 
 D5            A5             D5         A5 
Sing the dead march..as you carry me along 
     D5          A5           D5            A5 
Take me to the valley there lay the sod o?re me 
D5            A5         D5     A5        D5  
I?m a young cowboy and know I?ve done wrong

VERSE TWO 
 

D5              A5           D5          A5 
I see by your outfit..that you are a cowboy. 
       D5           A5          D5            A5  
These words he did say as I  boldly walked by  
     D5           A5           D5            A5 
Come sit down be-side me and hear my sad story 
    D5           A5            D5    A5      D5 
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die. 
 
VERSE THREE 
 

    D5            A5         D5            A5  
Go fetch me some water...a cool cup of water 
    D5              A5              D5          A5 
To cool my parched lips then the poor cowboy said 
 D5           A5          D5         A5 
before I re-turned his sprit had left him 
    D5            A5          D5     A5   D5 
had gone to his maker, the cowboy was dead.

D5              A5            D5         A5 
Sing the dead march..as you carry me along 
     D5          A5           D5            A5 
Take me to the valley there lay the sod o?re me 
 D5           A5         D5    A5         D5 
I?m a young cowboy and know I?ve done wrong
