A song of praise

To you

Prairie rose (Texas)

Though I'm not sure

Your strange allure (Texas)
B       A   G
Oh! Prairie rose
           A
A crown of thorns
             D*
A scented flower

[Chorus]

 C      G             A           D*
Hey hey – I'd better leave right away

Hey hey – I can hear you calling me
