STATE TROOPER from Nebraska
INTRO: Am
Am
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
D Am
'neath the refinery's glow, out where the great black rivers flow
D
License, registration, I ain't got none but I got a clear conscience
Am
About the things that I done
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
D Am D Am
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me
Maybe you got a kid, maybe you got a pretty wife
D Am
The only thing that I got's been bothering me my whole life
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
D Am D Am
Please don't you stop me, please don't you stop me
In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy,
D Am
Radio relay towers gonna lead me to my baby
Radio's jammed up with talk show stations
D Am
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience
D Am
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
D Am
Oh, Oooh oh
Aint somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
D Am
Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
D
Oh, Ooh

NOTES: Try Am istead of A, sounds better
TUNING: The same as all the others off this album, slightly flat but not quite a
semitone.
MAIN STYLE: The acoustic vamps along with the palm muting the strings slightly.
This isn't the actual strumming pattern, just the strumming style:
