Bb
You've always been a friend of mine
F Bb C
And that's the way we'll be 'til the day I die
Bb F Fsus4 F C
Yeah, it's good to know you're on my side
Bb
'Cause now you know she's leaving me
F Bb C
And I need your help to make her see
Bb F Fsus4 F G
So turn on your charm and let it shine
'Cause you've always been the one
Am F
Who could make her stay around
So when she gets to the city limit sign
G A D
Don't let me down
--Chorus
A G A D
Oh, Laredo, don't let her go
A G A D
Just take her by the heart and let the wheels turn slow
A G A Bm
Oh, Laredo, you're my only hope
A G/B
So, get her back to the day we met

A C (D)<--on 3rd chorus
Oh, Laredo
--Repeat Intro
Bb
But, make her think about the moonlit walks
F Bb C
And the long, long talks by the water's edge
Bb F Fsus4 F C
With her feet hangin' off the Cane Creek bridge
Bb
And bring to mind the first kiss we shared
F Bb C
At the old town square when she drives down there
Bb F Fsus4 F G
'Cause that's a day she said she 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
--Solo--> Bb F Bb Am F G A D
Yeah!

A G A D
(Oh, Laredo) You're my only hope
A G A D A G A D
(Oh, Laredo) Whoa, Laredo, whoa-oh (fades out)
