easier to finger. the tuning is

Verse:

B                          A
We only knew each other by letter

                          B
When I met her off of the train.

When the smoke had cleared and the 
A
dust was still

She was standing there and speaking 
   B
my name

                              A
Guaranteed she looked like an angel

                                  B
I couldnt think of what I should say

                         A
When Adam saw Eve in the garden,

                             B
I believe he felt the same way.

B                      A         
I handed her up on the wagon and 
                        B
loaded up the trunk for her.

She was sitting up there WITH the 
            A
gold in her hair

                             B
I tried to get a hold of my mind.


Chorus:

E                       B
Think you could love me Mary

E                        C      E
Think we got a chance of love

       B                       A
Do you think you could love me Mary

                     B
Now you oughta be my wife.


Verse 2:(the chords are the same in 
each verse)

Finally headed out of the station, 
drove up the home trail
And when we came on the farm she 
laid her had on mine;
Thought my resolution had failed.
and i froze as she stepped in the 
doorway,
Stood there as still as could be.
I said I knowin ain't much, without 
a womans touch,
And she turned around and looked at 
me.

chorus:

Think you could love me Mary
Think we got a chance of love
Do you think you could love me Mary
Now you oughta be my wife.

Guitar solo: (this is how i play it,
 pretty much the same thing)

Verse 3:

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

Chorus:
do you Think you could love me Mary
Think we got a chance of love
Do you think you could love me Mary
Now you oughta be my wife.
