By The Band Of Heathens
Written by Gordy Quist and Adam Carroll
3/15/2010
I met a [D]girl[G] from Manit[D]oba
Where the wind is [Bm]wild[G] on the Hudson [A]Bay
She could've [D]been[G] from Okla[D]homa
If she didn't [D]live[A] so far a[G]way
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:
Maple [G]tears in the letters she [D]sends
Red like the [A]dirt in the Tulsa [D]wind[D7]
Sweet like [G]cane on the delta [D]bed[G]
Oh them [D]maple tears[A] in the letters she [D]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
