   Gm
My mother came to Hazrard when I was just seven 
                                     F
Even then the folks in town said with prejudised eyes 
     C
That boy's not right 
 
Gm
Treee years ago when I came to know Mary 
                                    F
First time that someone look beyond the rumours and the lies 
            C
And saw the man inside 
 
Refrão I:

   Eb                       Bb
We used to walk down by the river 
    Eb                        Gm

   Eb                     Bb     Gm
We used to walk along the ri.... ver 
F             Eb              Gm

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 the badge came knocking next morning 
                                  F
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly 
         C
Pointing right at me 

Refrão II:

  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 ri.... ver 
    F           Eb          Gm
And leave this old Nebraska town 
 
Ponte:

F
Thinkng about my life going by
Eb               Bb
How it's done me wrong
F
There's no escape for me this time
Eb                Bb   F             Gm
All of my rescue are gone,      long gone
