(chords) Gm - F - Bb - Cm - Gm
Gm
My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
F
Even then the folks in town said with predjudiced eyes
C
That boy’s not right
Gm
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
F
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
C
And saw the man inside
CHORUS
Eb Bb
We used to walk down by the river
Eb Gm
She loved to watch the sun go down
Eb Bb Gm
We used to walk along the riiiiiiiver
F Eb Gm
And dream our way out of this toooown
INTRO (chords part)
Gm
No one understood what I felt for Mary
F
No one cared until the night she went out walking all alone
C
And never came home
Gm
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
F
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
C
Pointed right at me
CHORUS
Eb Bb
I swear I left her by the river
Eb Gm
I swear I left her safe and sound
Eb Bb Gm
I need to make it to the riiiiiver
F Eb Gm
And leave this old Nebraska toooown
BRIDGE
F Eb
I think about my life gone by
Gm F
And how it’s done me wrong
F Eb
There’s no escape for me this time
Bb Bb F Gm
All of my rescues are gooooooone, long gone
Guitar solo with same chords as the main verse
CHORUS
Eb Bb
I swear I left her by the river
Eb Gm
I swear I left her safe and sound
Eb Bb Gm
I need to make it to the riiiiiver
F Eb Gm
And leave this old Nebraska toooown
