(Verse 1)
(C) Caught me a (Dm)red eye flight out of (C/E)Houston
Found me a (Dm)window seat with a (C)view
Headed out (Dm)west for South Cali-(C/E)fornia
One Tito's (Dm)in, I'm thinking 'bout (F)you
In that little (C/E)border town
Where the (Dm)desert glows gold when the (C/E)sun goes down
My (F)head's thirty thousand (C/E)feet in the clouds
Know-(Dm)ing twenty minutes from now

(Chorus)
I'll be (C)somewhere (Bb)over Laredo
(F)Dreaming about those (Dm)rodeo nights
(C)Laid there on the (Bb)banks of the Rio
(F)New silver buckle on your (Dm)jeans next to mine
Couple (C)wrong for each other, lone (Dm)star-crossed lovers
(C/E)Born to get gone from the get-(F)go
But (G)you're on my (Am)mind every time I'm (G)chasing this neon (D/F#)rainbow
(F)Somewhere (G)over La-(C)redo / (Dm) / |(C/E) / (Dm) / |

(Verse 2)
(C) I'm flying (Dm)high on a 737 (C/E)
Yeah, boy, I'm (Dm)eye level with these stars (C)
You think I'd be (Dm)five miles closer to heaven (C/E)
But I reckon (Dm)heaven's down there where you are (F)
Do you stop and stare (C) at the Texas sky (Dm)
Up in the air, and (F)wonder if (G)I�fm

(Chorus)
(C)Somewhere (Bb)over Laredo
(F)Dreaming about those (Dm)rodeo nights
(C)Laid there on the (Bb)banks of the Rio
(F)New silver buckle on your (Dm)jeans next to mine
Couple (C)wrong for each other, lone (C)star-crossed lovers
(C/E)Born to get gone from the (F)get-go
But (G)you're on my (Am)mind every time I'm (G)chasing this neon (D)rainbow
(F)Somewhere (G)over La-(C)redo

(Bridge)
(Dm) Where the blackbirds (F)fly
(Dm) Once in a lullaby (C)
(Bb) For a second, (F)I�fm still yours
And (Dm)you're still mine - - -

(Chorus)
(C)Somewhere (Bb)over Laredo
(F)Dreaming about those (Dm)rodeo nights
(C)Laid there on the (Bb)banks of the Rio
(F)New silver buckle on your (Dm)jeans next to mine
Couple (C)wrong for each other, lone (Dm)star-crossed lovers
(C/E)Born to get gone from the (F)get-go
But (G)you're on my (Am)mind every time I'm (G)chasing this neon (D)rainbow
(F)Somewhere (G)over La-(C)redo (Bb) (F)

(Outro.)
(Dm)Somewhere over La-(C)redo (Bb) (F)
(Dm)Somewhere over Laredo - - - - -
