The devil sent you to Laredo (1978) (video)

D - G - D7 - G

G

1. I still remember the piano,

D

playing the same old melodies,

C G

the late night crowd was wild and loud,

D G

but then a shot outside the bar-room.

G

2. And then I saw you for the first time,

D

the way you stepped out of the dark,

C G

up to the bar, saying : Here we are,

D G - D

whiskey for me, for you tequila.

G D

The devil sent you to Laredo, because he knew that I was there,

D7 D

a man with such a face in such a lonesome place

D7 G - D

can only be a desperado.

G D

The devil sent you to Laredo, because he knew that I was there,

D7 D

and when I heard you’d stay, I felt it right away,

D7 G

you’d shake my life like a tornado.

G

3. I still remember the piano,

D

playing a different melody,

C G

you won at cards, you won at darts,

D G

left all the men without a dollar.

G

4. And now you gotta leave Laredo,

D

they want you out of here by noon,

C G

oh, I can tell, I’m in a spell,

D G - D

so here we go to Amarillo.

G D

The devil sent you to Laredo, because he knew that I was there,

D7 D

a man with such a face in such a lonesome place

D7 G - D

can only be a desperado.

G D

The devil sent you to Laredo, because he knew that I was there,

D7 D

and when I heard you’d stay, I felt it right away,

D7 G

you’d shake my life like a tornado.
