Prairie Wedding chords by Mark Knopfler

Chords with lyrics

C majorC                 Bb majorBb
We only knew each other by a letter
              C majorC
I went to meet her off the train
C majorC                    Bb majorBb
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
                   C majorC
She was standing there and speaking my name

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

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

FF                  C majorC
Do you think that you could love me Mary
FF            Eb MajorEb     FF
Do you think we got a chance of a life
C majorC                 Bb majorBb
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Bb majorBb          C majorC
Now you are to be my wife

C majorC                Bb majorBb
We finally headed out of the station
              C majorC
And we drove up the home trail
C majorC                       Bb majorBb
And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm
                C majorC
I thought my resolution would fail

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

FF                  C majorC
Do you think that you could love me Mary
FF             Eb MajorEb    FF
Do you think we got a chance of a life
C majorC                  Bb majorBb
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Bb majorBb          C majorC
Now you are to be my wife

C majorC          Bb majorBb
We had a prairie wedding
                  C majorC
There was a preacher and a neighbor or two
C majorC                   Bb majorBb
I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring
             C majorC
And the both of us said I do

C majorC                 Bb majorBb
When the sun's going down on the prairie
               C majorC
And the gold in her hair is aflame
C majorC               Bb majorBb
I say do you really love me Mary
                C majorC
And I hold her and I whisper her name

FF                  C majorC
Do you think that you could love me Mary
FF           Eb MajorEb     FF
Do you think we got a chance of a life
C majorC                  Bb majorBb
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Bb majorBb           C majorC
Now you are to be my wife
