Biography:
Prefab Sprout are an English pop band from Witton Gilbert, County Durham formed in 1976, who rose to fame during the 1980s. Though critically acclaimed, and considered by many to have released some of the best pop albums of the decade, the band never matched this acclaim with commercial success. The band's best known lineup comprised Paddy McAloon (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Wendy Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Martin McAloon (bass), and Neil Conti (drums).

As I walked out, in the streets of Laredo
[Verse]
G C Em D
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
Em C G D
As I walked out in Laredo one day
G C Em D
I spied a poor cowboy wrapped up in white linen
Em C G Am7
Wrapped in white linen, as cold as the clay
Am7 G
As I walked out, in the streets of Laredo
[Verse]
G C Em D
Sit down beside me and hear my sad story
Em C G D
Mortally wounded he clutched at his heart
G C Em D
Breathless and pale still his eyes told a tale
Em C G Am7
Of love for a world he was loathe to depart
Am7 G
As I walked out, in the streets of Laredo
[Chorus]
G D Am Em
Not long for this world, not long for this world
C G Am Em
Going the way of the beautiful roses
C G Am G
Standing in line and waving goodbye

Not long for this world, not long for this world
C G Am Em
Going the way of all valiant soldiers

Standing in line and waving goodbye

Going the way of the beautiful roses
