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

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

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

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

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

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