Intro: HOT spanish flamenco guitar
Verse 1:
- Em D
As I was riding across the Mississippi
Em D I stopped there and I cried.
Em D GNo use for a man to keep a mighty river
- G D
All damned up inside.
Verse 2:
I jumped bail from the Sweetwater County
Now I'm on the run
On my head's, a 5 number bounty
For a crime, I never done.
- ChorusBm
Take this Letter to Laredo
- F#
To the one I love
Bm Tell her to stay low,
F#'neath the clouds above
- G D
Her love's my only alibi
Bm G It's for her love I lied
D AYeah, yeah, yeah
Verse 3:
Why did Frankie have to pull that trigger
Why did you have to hide
Sherriff thinks I was standin' with her
It's for her love I lied
Love will make a free man a prisoner
Make an honest man lie
Love can be tough love can be tender
It's my only alibi
- Chorus
Break: same chords as verse
