Tanya Tucker - The wheels of laredo

On a ^Gwinter night in Webb County, Texas On the north bank of the mighty Rio ^BmGrande I was ^Cwatching the jungle fires a-burnin' Across the ^Gborder of a not-so-distant ^Dland

And the e^Gchoes of the church bells that were swingin' Could be heard from Guadalupe Market ^BmSquare There was a ^Cgirl down there in the south side of the river She had ^Gfeathers tied into her long black ^Dhair

And ^Cif I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow Well, I would ^Gfloat upon the southern skies of ^Dblue But I'm ^Gstuck in^G/F#side the ^Emwheels of La^Credo ^DWishing I was rolling back to ^Gyou

I put ^Gon my favorite jacket for Jamboozie I painted up my eyes and wore my ^Bmbeads There was a ^Cband playing "To God Be the Glory" There were ^Gpeople dancing all around the ^Dstreet

There were ^Gbarrels on the sidewalk that were burning And a fortune-teller readin' people's ^Bmhands And I ^Cswear I heard those church bells ringing 'Cross the ^Gborder of a not-so-distant ^Dland

Singin', "^CIf I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow Well, I would ^Gfloat upon the southern skies of ^Dblue But I'm ^Gstuck in^G/F#side the ^Emwheels of La^Credo ^DWishing I was rolling back to ^Gyou"

And ^Cif I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow Well, I would ^Gfloat upon the southern skies of ^Dblue But I'm ^Gstuck in^G/F#side the ^Emwheels of La^Credo ^DWishing I was rolling back to ^Gyou

I'm ^Gstuck in^G/F#side the ^Emwheels of La^Credo ^DWishing I was rolling back ^F to y^Cou ^G Wish I was ^Frolling back,^C back to y^Gou Wish I was ^Frolling ^C back to y^Gou Wish I was ^Frolling ^C back to y^Gou
