My [Gm]mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with [Bb]prejudised eyes
That [C]boy's not right
[Gm]Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone look beyond the [Bb]rumours and the lies
And saw the [C]man inside
We [Eb]used to walk down by the [Bb]river
She [Eb]loved to watch the sun go [Gm]down
We [Eb]used to walk along the [Gm]river
And [F]dream our [Eb]way out of this [Gm]town
[Gm]No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out [Bb]walking all alone
And [C]never came home
[Gm]Man with the badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand [Bb]fingers suddenly
Pointing [C]right at me
I [Eb]swear I left her by the [Bb]river
I [Eb]swear I left her safe and [Gm]sound
I [Eb]need to [Bb]make it to the [Gm]river
And [F]leave this [Eb]old Nebraska [Gm]town
[F]Thinkng about my life going by [Eb]How it's done me [Bb]wrong [F]There's no escape for me this time [Eb]All of my [Bb]rescue are [F]gone, long [Gm]gone
I [Eb]swear I left her by the [Bb]river
I [Eb]swear I left her safe and [Gm]sound
I [Eb]need to [Bb]make it to the [Gm]river
And [F]leave this [Eb]old Nebraska [Gm]town
