Nebraska Lyrics

Nebraska (Live 1975/1985 version) - Bruce Springsteen
Recorded August 6, 1984 at Meadowlands Arena
I know the Dsus2 is right but the rest is very difficult to hear on the recording, any
and all corrections are welcomed.
(I think the notes without parenthesis are the right notes
but the ones with them might be the correct ones)
Gtr. 1 - Nils Lofgren (Acoustic Guitar - 12 string)
(since Nils plays with a thumbpick the B and e strings
are most likely played with the index and middle fingers respectively, it sounds fine
picked though)
Tempo: Quarter Note = 126
let ring throughout
q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e q e q e e e
Intro(variation, this variation can also be played with the other two chords, with the
proper notes substituted)

Intro: | Dsus2 | Dsus2 |
I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun
The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap
Harmonica: | Asus4 | Dsus2 | Asus4 | Dsus2 |
(strum or arppegiate)
They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
Harmonica: | Asus4 | Dsus2 | Asus4 | Dsus2 | Dsus2/G | Dsus2 | Asus4 | Dsus2 |
| q quarter note
| e eighth note
