           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

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

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

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

that's the inside joke... Nebraska is a little flat... :)

Its not quite a half step down, its more of a quarter step. Basically, the whole song is just a little flat.

I think it is a half step down, too. For everybody who doesn't have a harmonica in Db, play this progression: G C G C I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton F C G C Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died Harp in C, it sounds great!
