[Intro 1]
[G][F][Gsus4][C][G]
[Gsus4][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]She lives
in the Bastard Nation
[Gsus4]She doesn't even [G]know her [C]name[G]
No one there knows where
they come from
[Gsus4]Could've been Abel [C]could've been [G]Cain
She was raised by loving hands
Down by [Gsus4]the Gulf Of [C]Mexico[G]
Her savior was a preacher man
They loved her [Gsus4]like she was [C]their own[G]
But one thing they could not
give to her
[Gsus4]Though they tried with al[C]l th[G]eir might
They could not fill the emptiness
She [Gsus4]felt when she lay
[G]down [C]eac[G]h night
She comes from the
Bastard Nation
[F]She don't even [C]know her [G]name
No one there knows where
they come from
[F]Could've been Abel [C]could've been [G]Cain
All alone in the Bastard Nation
[F]Just like all the [C]others [G]there
Each one reaching out for someone
[F]Doesn't anybod[C]y car[G]e

[Verse 2]
[G]Tonight I'll put my child to bed
She'll look [Gsus4]in her fa[C]ther's
[G]eyes[Gsus4][G]
Somewhere in there she'll see herself
And feel all those in[C]visible
[G]tie[Gsus4]s[G][Gsus4]
[G]But that girl from the Bastard Nation
[Gsus4]She just seems to drift[C] away[G]
She never knew just where to land
It's the only thing that
ever made her pray
She comes from the Bastard Nation
[F]She doesn't even [C]know her name
[G]No one there knows where
they come from
[F]Could've been Abel
[C]could've been [G]Cain
All alone in the Bastard Nation
[F]Just like all [C]the others [G]there
Each one reaching out for someone
[F]Doe[C]sn't anybody car[G]e
