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

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

VERSE TWO

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

VERSE THREE

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

CHORUS REPEAT

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