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