[Eb] [F]
[Eb] [C]
We only knew each other [Bb] by letter when I made [C] her off of the train
When the smoke had [Bb] cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there [C] speaking my name
Guaranteed she [Bb] looked like an angel
I couldn't think of [C] what I should say
But when Adam saw [Bb] Eve in the garden
I believe he felt the [C] same way
[Eb] [F]
[Cm]
[C]
I handed her up [Bb] on the wagon
Then I loaded up a trunk [C]-bike
She was sitting up there [Bb] with a gold in her hand
I tried to get a hold [C] of my mind
[Fm] Do you think you could love [Cm] me, Mary?
[F] Do you think [Eb] we got a chance or we're lying?
[F]
Do [C] you think you could [Bb] love me, Mary?
[F] Now you ought to be [C] my wife
[Eb] [F] [Cm]
[C]
We finally headed out [Bb] of the station
We drove up the [C] home trail
And when we came to the farm [Bb] she laid her hand on my arm
I thought [F] my [C] resolution would fail
Now I froze as she [Bbm] stepped in the doorway
She stood there [C] still as gungy
I said, I know it ain't much, [Bb] but it's a woman's touch
[C] She turned around and looked at me
Do [F] you think you could [C] love me, Mary?
[F] Do you think we got a [Eb] chance or we're lying?
[F] [Cm] Do you think you could love [Bb] me, Mary?
[F] Now you ought to be [C] my wife
[Bb]
[C] [Gm]
[Bb]
[C] [Fm]
[C] [F]
[Eb] [F] We
[C] [Bb]
[F] [C] [Bb] [C]
had a [Bb] prairie wedding
There was a preacher in the [C] neighborhood too
I gave my golden thing [Bb] a gold wedding ring
Then the both of us set [C] out
Now when the sun's going [F] down on the prairie
[C] And the gold in her hair is aflame
I say, do you really [F] love me, Mary?
[C] I hold her hand and whisper in her ear
Do you [F] think you could [C] love me, Mary?
[F] Do you think we got a [Eb] chance or we're lying?
[F] Do you [Gm] think you could [Bb] love me, Mary?
[F] Now you ought to [C] be my wife
