The Highwomen – Wheels Of Laredo chords

[Intro]
G   D/F#   Em   D   C   C/B   Am   D


[Verse 1]
     GOn a winter night in Webb County, Texas
                                    BmOn the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
      CI was watching the jungle fires a-burnin'
           G                          D/F#Across the border of a not-so-distant land


[Verse 2]
        GAnd the echoes of the church bells that were swingin'
                                     BmCould be heard from Guadalupe Market Square
            CThere was a girl down there in the south side of the river
        G                                 D/F#She had feathers tied into her long black hair


[Chorus]
     CSaid if I was I was a white-crowned sparrow
        G                                D/F#I would float upon the southern skies of blue
        G      D/F#      Em     D  CBut I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
D                             G   D/F#   Em   D   C   C/B   Am   DWishing I was rolling back to you


[Verse 3]
      GI put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
                                 BmI painted up my eyes and wore my beads
            CThere was a band playing "To God Be the Glory"
           G                             D/F#There were people dancing all around the streets


[Verse 4]
           GThere were barrels on the sidewalk that were burning
                                      BmAnd a fortune-teller readin' people's hands
      CAnd I swear I heard those church bells ringing
           G                          D/F#Across the border in a not-so-distant land


[Chorus]
     CSaid if I was I was a white-crowned sparrow
        G                                D/F#I would float upon the southern skies of blue
        G      D/F#      Em     D  CBut I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
DWishing I was rolling back to you

        G                                D/F#I would float upon the southern skies of blue
        G      D/F#      Em     D  CBut I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
D                         EmWishing I was rolling back to you
C             D               G    D/F#    Em    D    C    C/B    Am     D    GWishing I was rolling back to you
