Capo 1st Fret / Key of C#

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)
