Intro - Walk up to D G D A D
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 D
If she didn't live so far away
D G D
Prairie girl I read your letters
Bm G A
As I stood by the tracks of the C.P.R.
D G D
Every word just like a tear drop
D A D D7
Every stain, a broken heart
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

From Winnipeg on down to New Orleans

I seen the arms of that big old river

Stretching far out to the sea

G D
Maple tears in the letters she sends
A D D7
Red like the dirt in the Tulsa wind

Sweet like cane on the delta bed

Oh them maple tears in the letters she sends

Oh them maple tears in the letters she sends

I met a girl from Manitoba
