Lester's Tune-a-Day

As it's Thanksgiving in the USA on the day of posting I thought I do an American tune. The tune for the famous American cowboy ballad in which a dying cowboy tells his story to a living one. Derived from the English folk song The Unfortunate Rake. X:574 T:Streets of Laredo M:3/4 L:1/4 K:D A|A>GF|GAG|F>ED|CA,>A,| D>CD|EFG|FED|E2A| A>GF|GAG|F>ED|CA,2| D>DD|EFG|FCC|D2|]
