[C]We only knew each other by a lette[Bb]r
I went to meet her off the t[C]rain
[C]When the smoke had cleared and the dust w[Bb]as still
She was standing there and speaking m[C]y name
[C]I guarantee she looked like an an[Bb]gel
I couldn't think of what I should [C]say
[C]But when Adam saw Eve in the ga[Bb]rden
I believe he felt the selfsame w[C]ay

[C]I handed her up on the wa[Bb]gon
And I loaded up her trunk beh[C]ind
[C]She was sitting up there with the gold i[Bb]n her hair
And I tried to get a hold of my mi[C]nd

[F]Do you think that you could love me M[C]ary
[F]Do you think we got a ch[D#]ance of a li[F]fe
[C]Do you think that you could love m[Bb]e Mary
[Bb]Now you are to be my [C]wife

[C]We finally headed out of the stat[Bb]ion
And we drove up the home tra[C]il
[C]And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on[Bb] my arm

I thought my resolution would fa[C]il
[C]And I froze as she stepped in the do[Bb]orway
Stood there as still as could [C]be
[C]I said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's t[Bb]ouch
Lord she turned around and looked at[C] me

[F]Do you think that you could love me M[C]ary
[F]Do you think we got a chan[D#]ce of a li[F]fe
[C]Do you think that you could love me M[Bb]ary
[Bb]Now you are to be my w[C]ife

[C]We had a prairie wed[Bb]ding
There was a preacher and a neighbor [C]or two
[C]I gave my golden thing a gold wedding [Bb]ring
And the both of us said I [C]do
[C]When the sun's going down on the pr[Bb]airie
And the gold in her hair is af[C]lame
[C]I say do you really love me Ma[Bb]ry
And I hold her and I whisper her[C] name

[F]Do you think that you could love me [C]Mary
[F]Do you think we got a c[D#]hance of a l[F]ife
[C]Do you think that you could love me M[Bb]ary
[Bb]Now you are to be my wi[C]fe
