Short Native Grasses

A                         E      
You can fail to achieve what 
      A              E
you'd always believed
A                  E           A    
            (walk up to D)
You were capable of from the start
D                     G       
You can lose all you have on the 
    D        G
gambling ave
           D             G          
  D          (walk down to A)
An' you'll know nothing true of your
 heart
A                       E        
You can see and be seen with 
        A                  E
those holes in your jeans
A                     E           
But the prairies won't know what it 
 A
means


[Chorus]
A
The prairies of Alberta, they ain't 
never hearda
                                   E
The things that are keepin' you down

And the short native grasses don't 
care that the ashes
Of your dreams match their dry shade
    A
 of brown

[Verse 2]

A                         E      
You can follow the call out to 
      A              E
olde Montreal
A                  E           A    
           (walk up to D)
It may feel like you'll never get 
back
D                     G  
You can do what you want on 
         D        G
Boulevard St. Laurent
           D             G          
  D          (walk down to A)
It may feel like you've slipped 
through the crack
A                       E        
You can see and be seen with 
        A                  E
those holes in your jeans
A                     E           
And the prairies won't know what it 
 A

[Chorus]
A
The prairies of Alberta, they ain't 
never hearda
                                   E
The things that are keepin' you down

And the short native grasses don't 
care that the ashes
Of your dreams match their dry shade
    A
 of brown

[Verse 3]

A                         E      
When you fail to remember the 
      A              E
gifts of September
A                  E           A    
           (walk up to D)
And all that's left's a manila, 
grass rope
D                     G           
And that clean, country wedding 
D        G
that you thought you'd be getting
           D             G          
  D          (walk down to A)
Seems delayed beyond reasonable hope
A                       E        
You can see and be seen with 
        A                  E
those holes in your jeans
A                     E           
And the prairies won't know what it 
 A

A                       E        
You can see and be seen With 
        A                  E
those holes in your jeans
A                     E           
And the prairies won't know what it 
 A
