Wheels Of Laredo

G D/F# Em D C C/B Am D G On a winter night in Webb County, Texas Bm On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande C I was watching the jungle fires a-burnin' G D/F# Across the border of a not-so-distant land G And the echoes of the church bells that were swingin' Bm Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square C There was a girl down there in the south side of the river G D/F# She had feathers tied into her long black hair C Said 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 C But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo D G D/F# Em D C C/B Am D Wishing I was rolling back to you G I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie Bm I painted up my eyes and wore my beads C There was a band playing "To God Be the Glory" G D/F# There were people dancing all around the streets G There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burning Bm And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands C And I swear I heard those church bells ringing G D/F# Across the border in a not-so-distant land C Said 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 C But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo D Wishing I was rolling back to you Em C G D/F# 2x C Said 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 C But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo D Em Wishing I was rolling back to you C D G D/F# Em D C C/B Am D G Wishing I was rolling back to you
