My name is Coralie, I just turned 12 years old.
There's something wrong with me, that's what the doctor told my mama.
On a rainy Kansas night when I was born, my mama cursed the doctor, and the doctor cursed the storm.
My daddy took the bus to [D] Arkansas, one [Gm] way from Wichita.
[G]
[Gm] I may not know too much, I may not be too smart, there may be something wrong with my head but not my [Cm] heart.
I got a little sister, [Gm] she's not dumb like me, [Cm] and I don't want her seeing [Gm] things she don't need to see.
[Cm] Like some of the things [D] I saw that [Gm] night in Wichita.

[Cm] Na-na-na [Gm]-na-na-na-na [D]-na-na
My [Gm] mama sleeps a lot, she leaves the TV on.
You bring some groceries back, you take anything you [Cm] want.
You took it from my mama [Gm] now you're taking it from me
[Cm] She touched my little sister [Gm] miss her then you're gonna see
[Cm] There's worse things than running [D] from the law
[G] Here in Wichita I [Gm] [Cm]
[Gm] [Cm]
[Gm] [Cm]
[Gm] [D]
[G]
could have called the cops and told them what she did
But who's [Eb] gonna listen to a [C] story from a stupid kid?
[Gm] Mama always told me if you want something done
[Cm] You do it for yourself.
And so I [Gm] loaded up her gun.
I was steady on the [D] draw
That night [Gm] in Wichita
[G] [Gm] Yeah, I [Cm] hope I was last thing that you [D] saw
[Gm] That night in Wichita
