Verse 1:
   Gm
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
   Gm                                 F
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
     Csus2
That boy's not right
Gm
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
Gm                                        F
First time that someone looked beyond the rumours and the lies
            C
And saw the man inside

Chorus:
   Eb                       Bb
We used to walk down by the river
    Eb                        Gm
She loved to watch the sun go down
   Eb                     Bb     Gm
We used to walk along the ri ... ver
    F         Eb              Gm
And dream our way out of this town

Verse:
Gm
No one understood what I felt for Mary
Gm                                        F
No one cared until the night she went out walking all alone
    Csus2
And never came home
Gm
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Gm                                  F
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
        C
Pointed right at me

Chorus:
  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

Bridge:
F                Eb
I think about my life gone by
Gm               F
How it's done me wrong
F                     Eb
There's no escape for me this time
Dm        Eb          Bb     F        Gm
All of my rescues are gone,      long gone

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

Gm   F
