Mark Knopfler - Prairie Wedding Chords & Tabs

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

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

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

F                                    C
Do you think that you could love me Mary
F                       D#          F
Do you think we got a chance of a life
C                                 Bb
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Bb                   C
Now you are to be my wife

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

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

F                                    C
Do you think that you could love me Mary
F                         D#        F
Do you think we got a chance of a life
C                                    Bb
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Bb                    C
Now you are to be my wife

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

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

F                                   C
Do you think that you could love me Mary
F                      D#          F
Do you think we got a chance of a life
C                                    Bb
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Bb                     C
Now you are to be my wife
