Short Native Grasses

A                         E            A              E
You can fail to achieve what you'd always believed
A                  E           A                (walk up to D)
You were capable of from the start
D                     G           D        G
You can lose all you have on the gambling ave
           D             G            D          (walk down to A)
An' you'll know nothing true of your heart
A                       E                A                  E
You can see and be seen with those holes in your jeans
A                     E            A
But the prairies won't know what it means

A
The prairies of Alberta, they ain't never hearda
                                   E
The things that are keepin' you down
And the short native grasses don't care that the ashes
                                        A
Of your dreams match their dry shade of brown

A                         E            A              E
You can follow the call out to olde Montreal
A                  E           A               (walk up to D)
It may feel like you'll never get back
D                     G           D        G
You can do what you want on Boulevard St. Laurent
           D             G            D          (walk down to A)
It may feel like you've slipped through the crack
A                       E                A                  E
You can see and be seen with those holes in your jeans
A                     E            A
And the prairies won't know what it means

A
The prairies of Alberta, they ain't never hearda
                                   E
The things that are keepin' you down
And the short native grasses don't care that the ashes
                                        A
Of your dreams match their dry shade of brown

A                         E            A              E
When you fail to remember the gifts of September
A                  E           A               (walk up to D)
And all that's left's a manila, grass rope
D                     G           D        G
And that clean, country wedding that you thought you'd be getting
           D             G            D          (walk down to A)
Seems delayed beyond reasonable hope
A                       E                A                  E
You can see and be seen with those holes in your jeans
A                     E            A
And the prairies won't know what it means

A                       E                A                  E
You can see and be seen With those holes in your jeans
A                     E            A
And the prairies won't know what it means
