My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
-6 -6  6 -5  7 -6  6 
Even then the folks in town 
-5 -5 -5  5  5 -5  5 
said with prejudiced eyes
5  5 -5 -4 -3  3 
That boy's not right

-6 -6 -6 -6  6  6 -5 -5  6 -6
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
-6  6 -5  7 -6  6 
First time that someone 
-5 -5 -5 -5  5  5 -5  5 
looked beyond the rumors and the lies
 5  5  5  5 -5 -4 -3  3 
And saw the man inside

-6 -6 -6  7 -6  6 -5  5 -5 -3 
We used to walk down by the river
-6 -6 -6  7 -6  6 -6  7 -7 
She loved to watch the sun go down
7 -6 -6  7 -6  6 -5  5 -5 -3 
We used to walk along the river
4  4  4  4 -3* -3*  7 -6  6 -5
And dream our way out of this town

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6  6  6  6 -5  6 -6
No one understood what I felt for Mary
-6 -6  6 -5  7 -6  6 
No one cared until the night
-5 -5 -5  5  5 -5  5 
she went out walking alone
5  5  5 -5 -4 -3  3 
And never came home

-6 -6 -6 -6  6  6 -5 -5  6 -6
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
-6 -6  6 -5  7 -6 -6  6 -5 
Here was I surrounded by a thousand
-5  4  4 -3  4 -5  5 
fingers suddenly
5  5  5 -5 -4 -3  3 
Pointed right at me

-6 -6 -6  7 -6  6 -5  5 -5 -3 
I swear I left her by the river
-6 -6 -6  7 -6  6 -6  7 -7 
I swear I left her safe and sound
7 -6 -6  7 -6  6 -5  5 -7  7 -6 -5 
I need to make it to the river
4  4  4  4 -3* -3*  7 -6  6 -5 
And leave this old Nebraska town

3  6  6  6  6 -6  6 -5  5
I think about my life gone by
-6  6 -5  4 -3  3
How it's done me wrong
3  6  6  6  6 -6  6 -5  4 -3*
There's no escape for me this time
5  5 -5  5 -3* -3 
All of my rescues are gone
3 -2  3 -2  2 -2  2 -1  
Long ago, long ago
