Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You've always been a friend of mine

And that's the way we'll be 'til the day I die

Yeah, it's good to know you're on my side

'Cause now you know she's leaving me

And I need your help to make her see

So turn on your charm and let it shine

'Cause you've always been the one

Who could make her stay around

So when she gets to the city limit sign

Don't let me down

--Chorus

Oh, Laredo, don't let her go

Just take her by the heart and let the wheels turn slow

Oh, Laredo, you're my only hope

So, get her back to the day we met

'Cause that's as far as she needs to get

But, oh, but please don't let her go

A C D <--on 3rd chorus

Oh, Laredo

--Repeat Intro

But, make her think about the moonlit walks

And the long, long talks by the water's edge

With her feet hangin' off 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

And 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

--Repeat Chorus

Solo

-> Bb F Bb Am F G A D

Yeah!

--Repeat Chorus

(Oh, Laredo) Don't let her go

(Oh, Laredo) You're my only hope

(Oh, Laredo) Whoa, Laredo, whoa-oh (fades out)
