Alberta

1 3m b7 5 1
Alberta let your hair hang low
 

1 5 1
I saw her first on an April morn’
3m 4 5
As she walked through the mist in a field of hay
1 4 1
Her hair lit the world with its golden glow
3m 2m 5 1
And the smile on her face burned my heart away
 

1 3m b7 5 1
Alberta let your hair hang low
1 b7 5
Alberta let your hair hang low
4 3m 5 1 6m
I’ll give you more gold than your apron can hold
1 3m b7 5 1
If you’ll only let your hair hang low
 

I thought my golden time would last
But the field of hay was soon cut down
In a short few weeks it all was past
1 3m b7 5
And my golden girl just a painful song
 

Alberta what’s on your mind
Alberta what’s on your mind
My heart is so sad ’cause you treat me so bad
Alberta what’s on your mind

Alberta let your hair hang low
