Here is the next play-along, Streets of Laredo, also known as "The Cowboys Lament". The song is about a dying cowboy giving advice to a living one. 

6  6 -5    5   -5   
As I walked out  

 6 -5     5    -4  4 -3  3 
in the streets of La-re-do,   

3 4   4    -4   5 -5  5 -4  4  -4 
As I walked out in La-re-do one day, 

6   6  -5   5   -5   6 
I spied a young cow-boy    

-5     5 -4   4   -3  3 
wrapped up in white lin-en,     

3     4  4   4   -4  5 
Wrapped up in white lin-en 

-5   5  -3 -4    4 
As cold as the clay.
