Laredo (ver.2)

• C#

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