Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
My name is [Em]Cora Lee
I just turned twelve years old
There's something wrong with me
That's what the doctor told my [Am]mama
On the rainy Kansas [Em]night when I was born
My [Am]mama cursed the doctor
And the [Em]doc tor cursed the storm
And my [Am]daddy took the bus to [B]Arkansas

[Interlude 1]
One way from Wichita
[Em]

[Verse 2]
I may not [Em]know too much
I may not be too smart
There may be something wrong
With my head, but not my heart
[Am]I got a little sister
[Em]She's not dumb like me
And [Am]I don't want her seeing things
[Em]She don't need t[Am]o see
Like some of the things I [B]saw
They night in Wichita
[Em]

[Verse 3]
Na na [Am]na na na[Em] na na
[Am]Na na na na na n[Em]a na
Na na [Am]na na na na [Em]na na na na na[B]

[Verse 4]
[Em]My mama sleeps a lot
She leaves the TV on
You bring some groceries by
And take anything you want
[Am]You took it from my mama
Now you're [Em]taking it from me
But you [Am]touch my little sister, mister
Then [Em]you're gonna see
[Am]There's worse things than
running from the [B]law

[Interlude 2]
Here in Wichita
[Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Em][Am]
[Em][B][Em]

[Verse 5]
I could've [Em]called the cops
And told 'em what you did
But who's gonna listen to
A story from a stupid kid
[Am]Mama always told me
If [Em]you want something done
[Am]You do it for yourself
And so I [Em]loaded up her [Am]gun
And I was steady on [B]the draw
That night in [Em]Wichita
Yeah, I [Am]hope I was the last
thing that you [B]saw
That night in Wichita
[Em]

[Verse 6]
Na na [Am]na na na na na
[Em]Na na na na na[Am] na na
Na [Em]na na na na[Am] na na

[Outro 1]
