Intro: G C G  (4x)

G C G  
I've been around, had my ups and my downs  
G D  
Took my share and paid my dues  
Em C G  
Went to bed with a dream in my head  
G D G  
And woke up with the bad boy blues  

G C G  
But when you're gamblin all of the time  
G D  
Don't matter if you win or lose  
Em C G  
And I ain't never been shy so I don't know why  
G D G  
I'm standing talking to your shoes  

Em C G  
I guess it's cause oh, I love you so  
G D  
You thrill me like a Tilt-o-Whirl  
Em C G  
With your heart-stoppin, jaw-droppin big sky love  
G D G  
My pretty little prairie girl  

G C G  
Rogue males and old lone wolves  
G D  
Ain't much for self control  
Em C G  
They sleep with one foot in your bed  
G D G  
The other headin for the door  

G C G  
Feet get cold and hearts they can freeze  
G D  
In the dark nights of your soul  
Em C G  
But I don't care who disagrees  
G D G  
Falling in love is totally rock n roll  

Em C G  
And I say oh, I love you so  
G D  
And when my flag unfurls  
Em C G  
There'll be a heart tattoo with a picture of you  
G D G  
My pretty little prairie girl  

G C G  
In the rains those trains and planes  
G D  
They took me all around this world  
Em C G  
But all that steel and chrome made me think about home  
G D G  
My fingers running through your curls  

Em C G  
I say oh, I love you so  
G D  
And there's one thing I'm sure  
Em C G  
I'd crawl a thousand miles just to see that smile  
G D G  
My pretty little prairie girl  

Em C G  
And I say oh, I love you so  
G D  
And it ain't such a dark old world  
Em C G  
I see the future rise in the light of your eyes  
G D G  
My pretty little prairie girl
