                       Bb
You've always been a friend of mine
                F                  
And that's the way we'll be 'til 
  Bb          C
the day I die
                    Bb             
Yeah, it's good to know you're on 
F     Fsus4  F     C
my side
                           Bb
'Cause now you know she's leaving me
       F                 Bb       
And I need your help to make her 
  C
see
                 Bb             
So turn on your charm and let it 
F     Fsus4  F    G
shine

'Cause you've always been the one
          Am                       F
Who could make her stay around

So when she gets to the city limit

 A     G           A          D
Oh, Laredo, don't let her go
                      A            
Just take her by the heart and let 
     G             A     D
the wheels turn slow
 A     G              A          Bm
Oh, Laredo, you're my only hope
                        A          
So, get her back to the day we met
  G/B

                         A         
'Cause that's as far as she needs 
        Bm
to get
               A                  G
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 
Bb
moonlit walks
         F                     
And the long, long talks by the 
 Bb            C
water's edge
                      Bb           
With her feet hangin' off the Cane 
    F       Fsus4  F    C
Creek bridge
                            Bb
And bring to mind the first kiss we 
shared
        F                      
At the old town square when she 
  Bb                C
drives down there
                         Bb     
'Cause that's a day she said she 
              F     Fsus4  F    G
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
