Chords and lyrics for Laredo by Chris Cagle (key of Dm).
Verse 1
[C] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [C] [Bb] [F] [Fsus4] [F] [C]
You've always been a [Bb]friend of mine
And that's the [F]way we'll be 'til the [Bb]day I die[C]
Yeah, it's good to [Bb]know you're on [F]my [Fsus4]side[C][F]
'Cause now you know she's [Bb]leaving me
And I [F]need your help to [Bb]make her see[C]
So turn on your [Bb]charm and let it[F] [Fsus4]shine[G][F]
'Cause you've always been the one
Who could [Am]make her stay around[F]
So when she gets to the city limit sign
[G]Don't let me[A] [D]down
--Chorus
[A]Oh, [G]Laredo, don't [A]let her go[D]
Just take her by the [A]heart and let the [G]wheels turn [A]slow[D]
[A]Oh, [G]Laredo, you're my [A]only hope[Bm]
So, get her back to the [A]day we met[G/B]
'Cause that's as far as [A]she needs to get[Bm]
But, oh, but [A]please don't let her [G]go
A C (D)<--on 3rd chorus
Oh, Laredo
--Repeat Intro
But, make her think about the [Bb]moonlit walks
And the [F]long, long talks by the [Bb]water's edge[C]
With her feet hangin' [Bb]off the Cane [F]Creek [Fsus4]bridge[C][F]
And bring to mind the first [Bb]kiss we shared
At the [F]old town square when she [Bb]drives down there[C]
'Cause that's a day she [Bb]said she could never [F][Fsus4]forget[G][F]
And keep the nights by the candlelight
As an[Am] ace in the hole[F]
'Cause those are nights of passion
That I [G]know will bring her [A]home
--Repeat Chorus
[Bb] [F] [Bb][Am]Yeah![D][A][G][F]
--Repeat Chorus
[A](Oh, [G]Laredo) [A]Don't let her [D]go
[A](Oh, [G]Laredo) You're [A]my only [D]hope
[A](Oh, [G]Laredo) [A]Whoa, [D][A]Laredo, [G]whoa-oh[A] [D] (fades out)
