[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 




[Refrão]
      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 

Solo 
D   G   D  Bm  G   A   
D   G   D  A   D 


D            G           D 
I been inside ten thousand barrooms 
        Bm  G              A  
From Winnipeg on down to New Orleans 
             D   G         D 
I seen the arms of that big old river 
              D   A        D  D7 
Stretching far out to the sea 


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       G 
Oh them maple tears in the letters she sends 
        D          A                   D       
Oh them maple tears in the letters she sends 

D            G           D 
I met a girl from Manitoba
