Oh [D]beat the drums s[A]lowly..and p[D]lay the pipe l[A]owly
S[D]ing the dead [A]march..as you [D]carry me a[A]long
Take [D]me to the v[A]alley there [D]lay the sod o[A]â??re me
[D]Iâ??m a young[A] cowboy an[D]d know[A] Iâ??ve d[D]one wrong
.

[D]I see by your o[A]utfit..that [D]you are a c[A]owboy.
These w[D]ords he did [A]say as I b[D]oldly walked [A]by
Come [D]sit down be-[A]side me and [D]hear my sad s[A]tory
Got [D]shot in the [A]breast and I [D]know [A]I must [D]die.

CHORUS REPEAT
Oh b[D]eat the drums s[A]lowly..and [D]play the pipe l[A]owly
