[Verse]
           E       
  I saw her standin'
              A
on her front lawn
      E               A
just twirlin' her baton
        D                A
Me and her went for a ride sir
        E                   A
and ten innocent people died


[Verse]
          E                   A
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska
             E               A
with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
                D               A
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
            E                A
I killed everything in my path


[Interlude]

[Verse]
         E              A
I can't say that I'm sorry
           E             A
for the things that we done
          D              A
At least for a little while sir
        E                   A
me and her we had us some fun


[Verse]
           E     
  The jury brought
               A
in a guilty verdict
         E       
  and the judge he
                   A
sentenced me to death
         D              A
Midnight in a prison storeroom
               E    
  with leather straps
             A
across my chest


[Verse]
         E           
  Sheriff when the man
             A
pulls that switch sir
     E                  A
and snaps my poor head back
          D              A
You make sure my pretty baby
            E                  A
is sittin' right there on my lap


[Solo]
E A E A


[Verse]
         E                  A
They declared me unfit to live
                     
  said into that great
  E                A
void my soul be hurled
                D   
  They wanted to know
                  A
why I did what I did
                         
  well sir I guess there's
        E                A
just a meanness in this world
