a [E] suit
So [F#] his [A] wife drove down to a thrift [E] store
[A] [B] Found him a [D] butte
[G] [D]
[Em] You'd have [G] thought he [A] was
[D] A governor [G] or [Em] a man [D] of [A]

[G] [Bm] For he [A] wears [D] the state of Nebraska
[G] His [A] overcoat
[D] [G] And they left him restin' [A] out there with his [G] folks
Who came away [A] from Lincoln with a [Em] revelation
[A] [A] [G] That this rough and humble [A] teller of the [G] soul
Would rise out of the [A] fertile ground and [Em] meet his maker
