NEBRASKA from Nebraska
INTRO: G# C# G# C# F# C# G# C#
G# C# G# C#
I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
F# C# G# C#
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
G# C# G# C#
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed off .410 on my lap
F# C# G# C# G# C#
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path
G# C# G# C#
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
F# C# G# C#
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun
G# C# G# C#
Now the jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
F# C# G# C#
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
G# C# G# C#
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor head back
F# C# G# C#
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap
HARMONICA: G# C# G# C#
G# C# G# C#
They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul be hurled
F# C#
They want to know why I did what I did
G# C#
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
HARMONICA: G# C# G# C# F# C# G# C#

NOTES:
TUNING: Brooce's guitar is out of tune on this one. I suspect it's flat. That means the song was possibly played in 'D'. So to transcribe C#=D, F#=G and G#=A. Live he plays it in 'F'. For an easy transcription just knock all the sharps off. The choice is yours.
