Prairie Wedding

C                                 Bb
We only knew each other by a letter
                            C
I went to meet her off the train
C                                 
When the smoke had cleared and the
       Bb
 dust was still
She was standing there and speaking 
 C
my name
C                                Bb
I guarantee she looked like an angel
I couldn't think of what I should 
C
say
C                              Bb
But when Adam saw Eve in the garden
                                C
I believe he felt the selfsame way


C                        Bb
I handed her up on the wagon
                             C
And I loaded up her trunk behind
C                                 
She was sitting up there with the 
      Bb
gold in her hair
                                  C
And I tried to get a hold of my mind

F                                 
Do you think that you could love 
   C
me Mary
F                       D#       
Do you think we got a chance of a
   F
 life
C                                 
Do you think that you could love me 
Bb
Mary

Now you are to be my wife

C                                Bb
We finally headed out of the station
                            C
And we drove up the home trail
C                              
And when we came on the farm she 
                Bb
laid a hand on my arm

                                C
I thought my resolution would fail
C                                 
And I froze as she stepped in the 
  Bb
doorway
                              C
Stood there as still as could be
C                             
I said I know it ain't much, it 
                   Bb
needs a woman's touch
Lord she turned around and looked at
C
 me

F                                 
Do you think that you could love 
   C
me Mary

Solo

We had a prairie wedding
There was a preacher and a neighbor 
C
or two
C                           
I gave my golden thing a gold 
          Bb
wedding ring
                          C
And the both of us said I do
C                              
When the sun's going down on the 
    Bb
prairie
                              C
And the gold in her hair is aflame
C                             Bb
I say do you really love me Mary
                                C
And I hold her and I whisper her 
name

F                                 
Do you think that you could love 
  C
me Mary
F                      D#         
Do you think we got a chance of a 
 F
life
C                                 
Do you think that you could love 
   Bb
me Mary
Bb                     C
Now you are to be my wife
