Hazard – Capo 3rd Fret, Richard Marx

Em

My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven

Em                                                              D

Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes

         Asus2

That boy's not right

Em

Three years ago when I came to know Mary

Em                                                                      D

First time that some1 looked beyond the rumors and the lies

                         A

And saw the man inside

        C                                             G

We used to walk down by the river

       C                                                Em

She loved to watch the sun go down

       C                                       G     Em

We used to walk along the river

         D                 C                          Em

And dream our way out of this town

Em

No one understood what I felt for Mary

Em                                                                       D

No one cared until the night she went out walking alone

            Asus2

And never came home

Em

Man with a badge came knocking next morning

Em                                                                 D

Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly

                 A

Pointed right at me

C                                             G      C                                         Em

I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound

C                                          G Em      D               C                       Em            

I need to make it to the river nd leave this old Nebraska town

 D                           C                     Em                               D      

I think about my life gone by  how it's done me wrong

  D                                      C                  Bm            C                  

There's no escape for me this time All of my rescues are

G       D             Em

gone,     long gone
