Verse:
D MajorD
Come a runnin' boys
D MajorD                         A augmentedA
Don’t you hear that noise like the thunder in the sky
A augmentedA
How it rolls along in a good old song
           D MajorD
From the sons of Nebraski
D MajorD
Now it's coming near with a rising cheer
             G+G
That will sweep all foes away
        D MajorD
So with all our vim
     B minorBm          G+G    A augmentedA  D MajorD
We are bound to win and we're going to win today

D MajorD
In the days of old
D MajorD                        A augmentedA
Johnny Bender bold would just take that ball in hand
A augmentedA
And with Benedict right in front of him
               D MajorD
They would set sail for the land
D MajorD
Then Doc Eager too with a chosen few
            G+G
Would be all round everywhere
         D MajorD
And before they’d quit
      B minorBm       G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
they would calmly sit down behind that goalpost there


CHORUS:
  A augmentedA
For Nebraska and the scarlet
  D MajorD
For Nebraska and the cream
      A augmentedA
Though they go thru many battles
   D MajorD
Our colors still are seen
     A augmentedA       G+G
And so in contest and in victory
             A augmentedA
We will wave them for the team
     G+G       D MajorD
And will always stir a Cornhusker
  G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
The scarlet and the cream

     D MajorD
When the sun is bright
     D MajorD            D MajorD       A augmentedA
And the fields are ripe with the tassel on the corn
    A augmentedA          A augmentedA
You can hear it grow in the evening glow
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
Or the hush of early morn
    D MajorD           D MajorD        D MajorD        G+G
In the state so fair 'tis the very air that inspires us with a zest
      D MajorD         B minorBm
That in any fray we will not dismay
     G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD
But we'll do our level best


Chorus:
  A augmentedA
For Nebraska and the scarlet
  D MajorD
For Nebraska and the cream
      A augmentedA
Though they go thru many battles
   D MajorD
Our colors still are seen
     A augmentedA       G+G
And so in contest and in victory
             A augmentedA
We will wave them for the team
     G+G       D MajorD
And will always stir a Cornhusker
  G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
The scarlet and the cream
