Prairie Wedding by Mark Knopfler
Prairie Wedding
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

Verse 3:
We had a prairie wedding,
There was a preacher and a neighbor or two.
I gave my golden thing an gold wedding ring
And the both of us said I do.
When the sun's going down on the prairie,
And the gold in her hair is a flame
I say Do you really love me Mary and
I hold her and I whisper her name.
Chorus:
do you Think you could love me Mary
Think we got a chance of love
Do you think you could love me Mary
Now you oughta be my wife.
