CWe only knew each other by a letteBbr
I went to meet her off the tCrain
CWhen the smoke had cleared and the dust wBbas still
She was standing there and speaking mCy name
CI guarantee she looked like an anBbgel
I couldn't think of what I should Csay
CBut when Adam saw Eve in the gaBbrden
I believe he felt the selfsame wCay
CI handed her up on the waBbgon
And I loaded up her trunk behCind
CShe was sitting up there with the gold iBbn her hair
And I tried to get a hold of my miCnd
FDo you think that you could love me MCary

CDo you think that you could love mBbe Mary
BbNow you are to be my Cwife
CWe finally headed out of the statBbion
And we drove up the home traCil
CAnd when we came on the farm she laid a hand on Bbmy arm
I thought my resolution would faCil
CAnd I froze as she stepped in the doBborway
Stood there as still as could Cbe

C Bb

We only knew each other by a letter

I went to meet her off the train

C Bb

When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still

She was standing there and speaking my name

C Bb

I guarantee she looked like an angel

I couldn't think of what I should say

C Bb

But when Adam saw Eve in the garden

I believe he felt the selfsame way

C Bb

I handed her up on the wagon

And I loaded up her trunk behind

C Bb

She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair

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

And we drove up the home trail

C Bb

And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm

I thought my resolution would fail

C Bb

And I froze as she stepped in the doorway

Stood there as still as could be

C Bb

I said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's touch

Lord she turned around and looked at me

F C

Do you think that you could love me Mary

There was a preacher and a neighbor or two

I gave my golden thing a 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 aflame

C Bb

I say do you really love me Mary

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
