Mark Knopfler – Prairie Wedding chords

C                                 BbWe only knew each other by a letter
                            CI went to meet her off the train
C                                        BbWhen the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
                                     CShe was standing there and speaking my name

C                                BbI guarantee she looked like an angel
                                  CI couldn't think of what I should say
C                              BbBut when Adam saw Eve in the garden
                                CI believe he felt the selfsame way

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

F                                    CDo you think that you could love me Mary
F                       D#          FDo you think we got a chance of a life
C                                 BbDo you think that you could love me Mary
Bb                   CNow you are to be my wife

C                                BbWe finally headed out of the station
                            CAnd we drove up the home trail
C                                              BbAnd when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm
                                CI thought my resolution would fail

C                                   BbAnd I froze as she stepped in the doorway
                              CStood there as still as could be
C                                                BbI said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's touch
                                    CLord she turned around and looked at me

F                                    CDo you think that you could love me Mary
F                         D#        FDo you think we got a chance of a life
C                                    BbDo you think that you could love me Mary
Bb                    CNow you are to be my wife

C                   BbWe had a prairie wedding
                                    CThere was a preacher and a neighbor or two
C                                     BbI gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring
                          CAnd the both of us said I do

C                                  BbWhen the sun's going down on the prairie
                              CAnd the gold in her hair is aflame
C                             BbI say do you really love me Mary
                                CAnd I hold her and I whisper her name

F                                   CDo you think that you could love me Mary
F                      D#          FDo you think we got a chance of a life

Bb                     CNow you are to be my wife
