        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        G   
If she didn't live so far away


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:
      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


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
