🎸 Verse 1:

A augmentedA             E MajorE      A augmentedA       E MajorE
You can fail to achieve what you'd always believed
A augmentedA         E MajorE      A augmentedA        (walk up to D MajorD)
You were capable of from the start
D MajorD           G+G      D MajorD    G+G
You can lose all you have on the gambling ave
      D MajorD       G+G      D MajorD     (walk down to A augmentedA)
An' you'll know nothing true of your heart
A augmentedA            E MajorE        A augmentedA         E MajorE
You can see and be seen with those holes in your jeans
A augmentedA           E MajorE      A augmentedA
But the prairies won't know what it means

🎸 Chorus:
A augmentedA
The prairies of Alberta, they ain't never hearda
                  E MajorE
The things that are keepin' you down

And the short native grasses don't care that the ashes
                    A augmentedA
Of your dreams match their dry shade of brown

🎸 Verse 2:

A augmentedA             E MajorE      A augmentedA       E MajorE
You can follow the call out to olde Montreal
A augmentedA         E MajorE      A augmentedA        (walk up to D MajorD)
It may feel like you'll never get back
D MajorD           G+G      D MajorD    G+G
You can do what you want on Boulevard St. Laurent
      D MajorD       G+G      D MajorD     (walk down to A augmentedA)
It may feel like you've slipped through the crack
A augmentedA            E MajorE        A augmentedA         E MajorE
You can see and be seen with those holes in your jeans
A augmentedA           E MajorE      A augmentedA
And the prairies won't know what it means


🎸 Chorus:
A augmentedA
The prairies of Alberta, they ain't never hearda
                  E MajorE
The things that are keepin' you down

And the short native grasses don't care that the ashes
                    A augmentedA
Of your dreams match their dry shade of brown

🎸 Verse 3:

A augmentedA             E MajorE      A augmentedA       E MajorE
When you fail to remember the gifts of September
A augmentedA         E MajorE      A augmentedA        (walk up to D MajorD)
And all that's left's a manila, grass rope
D MajorD           G+G      D MajorD    G+G
And that clean, country wedding that you thought you'd be getting
      D MajorD       G+G      D MajorD     (walk down to A augmentedA)
Seems delayed beyond reasonable hope
A augmentedA            E MajorE        A augmentedA         E MajorE
You can see and be seen with those holes in your jeans
A augmentedA           E MajorE      A augmentedA
And the prairies won't know what it means

🎸 Outro:

A augmentedA            E MajorE        A augmentedA         E MajorE
You can see and be seen With those holes in your jeans
A augmentedA           E MajorE      A augmentedA
And the prairies won't know what it means
