   Csus2                    Bbsus2
We only knew each other by letter 
                             Csus2
I went to meet her off the train
                                    Bbsus2
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
                                        Csus2
She was standing there and speaking my name

                               Bbsus2
I guarantee she looked like an angel
                                   Csus2
I couldn't think of what I should say
                              Bbsus2
But when Adam saw Eve in the garden
                                Csus2
I believe he felt the selfsame way

I handed her up on the wagon
                             Csus2    
And I loaded up her trunk behind
                                   Bbsus2
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
                                 Csus2
And I tried to get a hold of my mind

         F                           Csus2
Do you think that you could love me Mary
         F                         Ebsus2  F
Do you think we got a chance of a life
         Csus2                       Bbsus2
Do you think that you could love me Mary
                      Csus2
Now you are to be my wife

We finally headed out of the station
                           Csus2
And we drove up the home trail
                                         Bbsus2
And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm
                               Csus2
I thought my resolution would fail

                                   Bbsus2
And I froze as she stepped in the doorway
                               Csus2
Stood there as still as could be
                                         Bbsus2
I said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's touch
                            Csus2
Lord she turned around and looked at me


         F                           Csus2
Do you think that you could love me Mary
         F                         Ebsus2  F
Do you think we got a chance of a life
         Csus2                       Bbsus2
Do you think that you could love me Mary
                      Csus2
Now you are to be my wife

We had a prairie wedding
                                         Csus2
There was a preacher and a neighbor or two
                          Bbsus2
I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring
                           Csus2
And the both of us said I do

                                   Bbsus2
When the sun's going down on the prairie
                            Csus2
And the gold in her hair is aflame
                             Bbsus2
I say do you really love me Mary
                                  Csus2
And I hold her and I whisper her name


         F                           Csus2
Do you think that you could love me Mary
         F                         Ebsus2  F
Do you think we got a chance of a life
         Csus2                       Bbsus2
Do you think that you could love me Mary
                      Csus2
Now you are to be my wife
