Verse:
G+G GsusGsus G+G
She lives in the Bastard Nation
FF C majorC G+G
She doesn't even know her name
G+G GsusGsus G+G
No one there knows where they come from
FF C majorC G+G
Could've been Abel could've been Cain
G+G GsusGsus G+G
She was raised by loving hands
FF C majorC G+G
Down by the Gulf Of Mexico
G+G GsusGsus G+G
Her savior was a preacher man
FF C majorC G+G
They loved her like she was their own
G+G GsusGsus G+G
But one thing they could not give to her
FF C majorC G+G
Though they tried with all their might
G+G GsusGsus G+G
They could not fill the emptiness
FF C majorC G+G
She felt when she lay down each night
G+G GsusGsus G+G
She comes from the Bastard Nation
FF C majorC G+G
She don't even know her name
G+G GsusGsus G+G
No one there knows where they come from
FF C majorC G+G
Could've been Abel could've been Cain
G+G GsusGsus G+G
All alone in the Bastard Nation
FF C majorC G+G
Just like all the others there
G+G
Each one reaching out for someone
FF C majorC G+G
Doesn't anybody care
G+G GsusGsus G+G
Tonight I'll put my child to bed
FF C majorC G+G
She'll look in her father's eyes
G+G GsusGsus G+G
Somewhere in there she'll see herself
FF C majorC G+G
And feel all those invisible ties
G+G GsusGsus G+G
But that girl from the Bastard Nation
FF C majorC G+G
She just seems to drift away
G+G GsusGsus G+G
She never knew just where to land
FF C majorC G+G
It's the only thing that ever made her pray
G+G GsusGsus G+G
She comes from the Bastard Nation
FF C majorC G+G
She doesn't even know her name
G+G GsusGsus G+G
No one there knows where they come from
FF C majorC G+G
Could've been Abel could've been Cain
G+G GsusGsus G+G
All alone in the Bastard Nation
FF C majorC G+G
Just like all the others there
G+G
Each one reaching out for someone
FF C majorC G+G
Doesn't anybody care
