The Highwomen - 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 ^D/F#land

And the ^Gechoes 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 ^D/F#hair

Said ^Cif I was I was a white-crowned sparrow I would ^Gfloat upon the southern skies of ^D/F#blue But I'm ^Gstuck i^D/F#nside the ^Emwheels ^Dof ^CLaredo ^DWishing I was rolling back to ^Gyou ^{D/F# Em D C C/B Am D}

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 ^D/F#streets

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 Across the ^Gborder in a not-so-distant ^D/F#land

Said ^Cif I was I was a white-crowned sparrow I would ^Gfloat upon the southern skies of ^D/F#blue But I'm ^Gstuck i^D/F#nside the ^Emwheels ^Dof ^CLaredo ^DWishing I was rolling back to you

Said ^Cif I was I was a white-crowned sparrow I would ^Gfloat upon the southern skies of ^D/F#blue But I'm ^Gstuck i^D/F#nside the ^Emwheels ^Dof ^CLaredo ^DWishing I was rolling back^Em to you ^CWishing I was ^Drolling back to ^Gyou ^{D/F# Em D C C/B Am D G}
