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

[Verse 5]
                     Aadd9
Sheriff, when the man     pulls that switch,
D
 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
Well, sir,
                       Aadd9                 D
I guess there's just a meanness in this world
