Letter To Laredo chords by Joe Ely


Joe Ely Chords


Letter to Laredo

Written and performed by Joe Ely,
appearing on his album, Letter to Laredo
Transcribed by Steve Krall (steve.krall@daytonoh.ncr.com)


Intro:  HOT spanish flamenco guitar

Verse 1:
   Em           D
As I was riding across the Mississippi
  Em                  D
I stopped there and I cried.
  Em                D             G
No use for a man to keep a mighty river
G               D
All damned up inside.

Verse 2:
I jumped bail from the Sweetwater County
Now I'm on the run
On my head's, a 5 number bounty
For a crime, I never done.


Chorus:
          Bm
Take this Letter to Laredo
F#
To the one I love
Bm
Tell her to stay low,
F#
'neath the clouds above
    G                 D
Her love's my only alibi
     Bm              G
It's for her love I lied
  D           A
Yeah,  yeah, yeah


Verse 3:
Why did Frankie have to pull that trigger
Why did you have to hide
Sherriff thinks I was standin' with her
It's for her love I lied

Love will make a free man a prisoner
Make an honest man lie
Love can be tough love can be tender
It's my only alibi

Chorus

Break:  same chords as verse

Chorus:
          Bm
Take this Letter to Laredo
F#
To the one I love
Bm
Tell her to stay low,
F#
'neath the clouds above
    G                 D
Her love's my only alibi
     Bm              G
It's for her love I lied
  D        F#
Yeah,  yeeaaahhh

Repeat Bm and F# and fade out
