Laramie Lyrics & Tabs by Coyote Grace
Laramie
guitar chords lyrics
Ten years ago it was, blood froze over the old sea
October never was so cold for a boy down in Laramie
Oh, thunderstorms of outrage raining tears cross the land
Seems we had to watch a white boy die to finally make a stand
Would you give your life to be
Something beautiful and free
It could've been you, it could've been me... in Laramie
Apple of his mama's eye, boy smile and proudly dance away
The light of his beautiful life eclipsed too soon on this day
Oh, they tied him to a split-rail fence and left him there to die
Lonely as a scarecrow set against the morning sky
Would you give your life to be
Something beautiful and free
It could've been you, it could've been me... in Laramie
Ten years ago it was, and no one will ever forget his name
Something beautiful and free
It could've been you, it could've been me... in Laramie
Ten years ago it was, and no one will ever forget his name
Or the gospel of the shepard boy, the living truth that we are all the same
Oh, he sure was not the first one, and he hasn't been the last
Ask yourself has much has changed since those ten years have passed
Would you give your life to be
Something beautiful and free
It could've been you, it could've been me
