Gm  F/A B♭  Cm  B♭ Gm(sus2)  x 2  (1re x: juste notes)

   Gm
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Gm
Even then the folks in town said
     F
With prejudiced eyes
     C
That boy's not right

Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone look
Beyond the rumours and the lies
And saw the man inside

     E♭                       B♭
  We used to walk down by the river
      E♭                        Gm    Gm/F
  She loves to watch the sun go down
     E♭                     B♭  Gm
  We used to walk along the riiiver
      F         E♭              Gm     Gm/D
  And dream our way out of this town

Gm  F/A B♭  Cm  B♭ Gm(sus2)

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

  I swear I left her by the river
  I swear I left her safe and sound
  I need to make it to the river
  And leave this old Nebraska town

F                E♭
I think about my life going by
Gm               F
How it's done me wrong
F                     E♭
There's no escape for me this time
B♭/D      E♭         B♭/F  F
All of my rescue are goooooone, long gone

Gm   F  C  x 2  w/ solo

  Refrain 2

Gm  x 8  w/ solo
