My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Em D
    
                                                     
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
Asus2
     
                    
That boy's not right
Em
  
                                        
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
Em D
    
                                                           
First time that some1 looked beyond the rumors and the lies
A
 
                      
And saw the man inside
C G
   
                                 
We used to walk down by the river
C Em
    
                                  
She loved to watch the sun go down
C G Em
      
                               
We used to walk along the river
D C Em
      
                                  
And dream our way out of this town
 
 
Em
  
                                      
No one understood what I felt for Mary
Em D
    
                                                       
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
Asus2
     
                   
And never came home
Em
  
                                           
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Em D
    
                                                    
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
A
 
                   
Pointed right at me
C G C Em
        
                                                                 
I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound
C G Em D C Em
             
                                                              
I need to make it to the river nd leave this old Nebraska town
D C Em D
        
                                                     
I think about my life gone by  how it's done me wrong
D C Bm C
        
                                                        
There's no escape for me this time All of my rescues are
G D Em
      
                   
gone,     long gone
