Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

My mother came to Hazrard when I was just seven

Even then the folks in town said with prejudised eyes

That boy's not right

Treee years ago when I came to know Mary

First time that someone look beyond the rumours and the lies

And saw the man inside

Chorus

We used to walk down by the river

She loves to watch the sun go down

We used to walk along the ri.... ver

And dream our way out of this town

Intro

No one understood what I felt for Mary

No one cared until the night she went out walking all alone

And never came home

Man with the badge came knocking next morning

Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly

Pointing right at me

Chorus

I swear I left her by the river

I swear I left her safe and sound

I need to make it to the ri.... ver

And leave this old Nebraska town

Bridge

Thinkng about my life going by

How it's done me wrong

There's no escape for me this time

All of my rescue are gone, long gone

Guitar Break

I swear I left her by the river

I swear I left her safe and sound

I need to make it to the ri.... ver

And leave this old Nebraska town

(Fade to end...)
