prairie wedding Mark Knopfler transcribed by Shaun Jones This song is actually i the key of C but playing it one half step down, in B makes it a easier to finger. the tuning is standard. Intro -----------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------| --------0--0h2-----------0-2-3-4-3-2-0---------| -0-0-2---------------0-2---------------2-0-h2--| -----------------------------------------------| Verse:
BWe only knew each other by Aletter When I met her off of the Btrain.
When the smoke had cleared and the Adust was still She was standing there and speaking my Bname
Guaranteed she looked like an Aangel I couldnt think of what I should sBay
When Adam saw Eve in the Agarden, I believe he felt the same waBy.

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. -----------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------| --------0--0h2-----------0-2-3-4-3-2-0---------| -0-0-2---------------0-2---------------2-0-h2--| -----------------------------------------------|
