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


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


[Interlude]
D# G#


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


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


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


[Solo]
D# G# D# G#


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