[Intro 1]
[Em][D][G][Am][Em]
[Em][D][G][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
My [Em]mother came to Hazard
when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town
said with [D]prejudiced eyes
"That [A]boy's not right"
[Em]Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked
beyond the [D]ru mors and the lies
And saw the [A]man inside

[Chorus 1]
We [C]used to walk down by the [G]ri ver
She [C]loved to watch the sun go [Em]down
We [C]used to walk along the [G]ri [Em]ver
And [D]dream our [C]way out of this [Em]town
[Em][D][G]
[Am][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she
went out [D]walking all alone
And [A]ne ver came home
[Em]Man with a badge came
knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand
with [D]fingers suddenly
Pointed [A]right at me

[Chorus 2]
I [C]swear I left her by the [G]ri ver
I [C]swear I left her safe and [Em]sound
I [C]need to make it to the [G]ri [Em]ver
And [D]leave this [C]old Nebraska [Em]town

[Bridge 1]
[D]I think about my lif[C]e gone by
And [Em]how it's done me w[D]rong
There's no escape for [C]me this time
[G]All of my [C]rescues are [D]gone, [D]long gone

[Solo 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[D][D][A][A]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[D][D][A][A]

[Chorus 3]
I [C]swear I left her by the [G]ri ver
I [C]swear I left her safe and [Em]sound
Oh, I [C]need to make it to the [G]ri [Em]ver
And [D]leave this [C]old Nebraska [Em]town

[Outro 1]
[Em]Ooh, ooh, [D]ooh
[Em][Em][Em][Em][D]
[Em][Em][Em][Em][D]
[Em][Em][Em][Em][D]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Fade out]
