[Verse 1]
Aadd9 D
I saw her standing on her front lawn
Aadd9 D
Just twirling her baton
G D
Me and her went for a ride, sir,
Aadd9 D
And ten innocent people died

[Verse 2]
Aadd9 D
From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska,
Aadd9 D
With a sawedoff 410 on my lap
G D
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
Aadd9 D
I killed everything in my path

[Verse 3]
Aadd9 D Aadd9 D
I can’t say that I’m sorry
Aadd9 D
For the things that we done
G D
At least for a little while, sir,
Aadd9 D
Me and her we had us some fun

[Verse 4]
Aadd9 D
Now, the jury brought in a guilty verdict,
Aadd9 D
And the judge he sentenced me to death
G D Aadd9 D
Midnight in a prison store-room with leather straps across my chest

[Verse 5]
Aadd9 D
Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir,
Aadd9 D
And snaps my poor head back
G D
You make sure my pretty baby
Aadd9 D
Is sittin’ right there on my lap

[Verse 6]
Aadd9 D Aadd9 D Aadd9 D
They declared me unfit to live,
Aadd9 D
Said into that great void my soul’d be hurled
G D
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Aadd9 D
Well, sir, I guess there’s just a meanness in this world

[Outro]
Aadd9 D Aadd9 D
