[Verse 1]
D            Em7                       D/F#
 Caught me a red eye flight out of Houston
           Em                 D
Found me a window seat with a view
           Em                 D/F#
Headed out west for South California
           Em                     G
One Tito's in, I'm thinking 'bout you
               D/F#
In that little border town
            Em7                      D/F#
Where the desert glows gold when the sun goes down
   G                      D/F#
My head's thirty thousand feet in the clouds
Em7
Knowing twenty minutes from now, I'll be
 
 
[Chorus]
D         C
Somewhere over Laredo
G                      Em7
Dreaming about those rodeo nights
D                 C
Laid there on the banks of the Rio
G                         Em7
New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine
       D                          Em7
Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers
D/F#                          G
Born to get gone from the get-go
    A            Bm                  A                 E
But you're on my mind every time I'm chasing this neon rainbow
G         A      D    Em7  D/F#  Em
Somewhere over Laredo
 
 
[Verse 2]
D           Em          D/F#
 I'm flying high on a 737
               Em                   D
Yeah, boy, I'm eye level with these stars
                 Em7                  D/F#
You think I'd be five miles closer to heaven
             Em7                           G
But I reckon heaven's down there where you are
                     D/F#             Em7
Do you stop and stare at the Texas sky
                   G         A
Up in the air, and wonder if I'm
 
 
[Chorus]
D         C
Somewhere over Laredo
G                      Em7
Dreaming about those rodeo nights
D                 C
Laid there on the banks of the Rio
G                         Em7
New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine
       D                          Em7
Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers
D/F#                          G
Born to get gone from the get-go
    A            Bm                  A                 E
But you're on my mind every time I'm chasing this neon rainbow
G         A      D
Somewhere over Laredo
 
 
[Bridge]
C                     G
 Where the blackbirds fly
Em7            D C
Once in a lullaby
              G
For a second, I'm still yours
    Em7
And you're still mine
 
 
[Chorus]
D         C
Somewhere over Laredo
G                      Em7
Dreaming about those rodeo nights
D                 C
Laid there on the banks of the Rio

New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine
       D                          Em7
Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers
D/F#                          G
Born to get gone from the get-go
    A            Bm7                 A                 E
But you're on my mind every time I'm chasing this neon rainbow

Somewhere over Laredo
