D G D
I met a girl from Manitoba
Bm G A
Where the wind is wild on the Hudson Bay
D G D
She could've been from Oklahoma
D A G
If she didn't live so far away
Prairie girl I read your letters
As I stood by the tracks of the C.P.R.
Every word just like a tear drop
Every stain, a broken heart
Chorus:
G D
Maple tears in the letters she sends
A D D7
Red like the dirt in the Tulsa wind
G D G
Sweet like cane on the delta bed
D A D
Oh them maple tears in the letters she sends
I been inside ten thousand barrooms
I seen the arms of that big old river
Stretching far out to the sea
Chorus
I met a girl from Manitoba
