Tom: D
D G
She met him one night in Laredo
D A
Just a wild comanchero they say
D G
They told her that he'd been an outlaw
A D
And she'd have to send him away
D G
They warned her of toil and of hardships
D A
And a life filled with heartaches and tears
D G
Then one day he sent her a message
A D
The one she'd been waiting to hear
[Chorus]
D G
Meet me tonight in Laredo
D A
Wait till the moon's hanging low
D G
Meet me tonight in Laredo
A D
We'll soon be in old Mexico
D G
That night as they slipped through the darkness
D A
To the trail where their horses were tied
D G
He whispered a prayer for tomorrow
A D
That she would be safe by his side
D G
She smiled as they climbed in the saddle
D A
And as swift as a wild prairie wind
D G
They rode to the Madre Sierra
A D
Repeating these words once again
[Chorus]
D G
Meet me tonight in Laredo
D A
Wait till the moon's hanging low
D G
Meet me tonight in Laredo
A D
We'll soon be in old Mexico
D G
Now in their own hacienda
D A
In the glow of a soft candle light
D G
The hands that once held a sixgun
A D
Are holding their baby tonight
D G
She echoes his God will go with us
D A
And at night when the moon's hanging low
D G
She smiles as she fondly remembers
A D
The words he had said long ago
[Chorus]
D G
Meet me tonight in Laredo
D A
Wait till the moon's hanging low
D G
Meet me tonight in Laredo
A D
We'll soon be in old Mexico
