 My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
  Gm                                     F
 Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
       Csus2
 That boy's not right
 Gm
 Three years ago when I came to know Mary
  Gm                                        F
 First time that someone looked beyond the rumours and the lies
              C
 And saw the man inside

        D#                        A#
     We used to walk down by the river
          D#                        Gm
     She loved to watch the sun go down
        D#                      A#     Gm
     We used to walk along the ri ... ver
           F        D#              Gm
     And dream our way out of this town

 Gm
 No one understood what I felt for Mary
 Gm                                         F
 No one cared until the night she went out walking all alone
      Csus2
 And never came home
 Gm
 Man with a badge came knocking next morning
 Gm                                   F
 Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
          C
 Pointed right at me

         D#                     A#
     I swear I left her by the river
         D#                       Gm
     I swear I left her safe and sound
        D#                     A#     Gm
     I need to make it to the ri ... ver
          F         D#            Gm
     And leave this old Nebraska town

 F                 D#
 I think about my life gone by
  Gm                F
 How it's done me wrong
   F                    D#
 There's no escape for me this time
 Dm         D#          A#   F       Gm
 All of my rescues are gone,   long gone

     I swear I left her by the river
         D#                       Gm
     I swear I left her safe and sound
        D#                     A#     Gm
     I need to make it to the ri ... ver
          F          D#           Gm
     And leave this old Nebraska town
