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...)
