Nebraska O.
In school I learned a man
D 
G 
who died by the gun,
C 
G 
D 
but not of those who died by the whole.
C 
The land has drunk the rains
G 
of many a farmer's blood,
D 
G 
not forgotten and buried long ago.
And where are the hands
D 
G 
that plowed fields without sleep,
C 
hands that saved a dying
G 
D 
calf without rest?
C 
And where's the feet to walk
G 
down hot -dust trails
on their way to seek their
D 
G 
fortune gone west?
And where are the fathers
D 
G 
who died in the dust
C 
and mothers who died
G 
D 
hungry in the snow?
C 
And where's the kids
that watch the banks
G 
while the house is down?
Those are things I guess my
D 
teachers never know.
G 
So have you heard about a country

to my city politician
who keeps telling me
D 
G 
that these are better days
D 
G 
C 
is there anybody left to walk a muddy mile is courage a
G
