        D   (play intro)   
Oh Laredo  
  
(lyrics and chord diagrams follow, chord progression remains the same)  
  
Make her think about the moonlit walks and   
the long, long talks by the water's edge  
With her feet hanging of 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  
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  
  
  
Oh Lardeo, don't let her go  
Just take her by the heart  
And let the wheels turn slow  
Oh Lardeo, you're my only hope  
So take her back to the day we met  
cause thats as far as she needs to get  
oh but please don't let her go  
Oh Laredo  
  
Oh Lardeo, don't let her go  
Just take her by the heart  
And let the wheels turn slow  
Oh Lardeo, you're my only hope  
So take her back to the day we met  
cause thats as far as she needs to get  
oh but please don't let her go  
Oh Laredo
