INTRO: CC
How do I feel, when I feel so alone?
Like a sad armadillo, across this desert I roam
FAm
I've been stripped down bare 'til I break
C
Still the wheel keeps turning
Had me a sweet one, I tell no lie
Summer nights in the cornfields, when the corn gets so high
FAm
We traveled clear across Wichita, heading north
CFC
Leaving civilization
CHORUS 1:
AmEm7/GFC
There were highways to get across
AmGFCGC
And places far from here
FGEmAm
And I was his lonesome prairie
Dm7G7F
And he was my wild frontier
C
Harvested peaches in a small border town
Saved all our wages, put ten percent down
FAm
I never thought I'd see the world through a child's eyes
C
Until early December
Then one Calgary morning, still as glass
While my baby lay sleeping, an angel slipped past
FAm
And with one breath said, "I'm taking him back
CFC
To his Father in Heaven"
CHORUS 2:
AmEm7/GFC
Through gravel and ice and new-fallen snow
AmGFCGC
I held him through my tears
FGEmAm
Because I was his lonesome prairie
Dm7G7F
And he was my wild frontier
BRIDGE:
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
CF
Oh, oh, oh
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along
DmG
Oh, oh, oh
CHORUS 3:
AmCFC
And sometimes at night, I swear I can hear him
AmGFCGC
Calling out so clear
FGEmAm
He says, "You were my lonesome prairie
Dm7G7F
And I'm still your wild frontier"

Oh, oh, oh
