D
In the open part of the states
D A A7
north wind swooped on the Great Plains
D D7 G
and down come from the sky
D A D D7
a pretty meadowlark sat by her side
G D
And he called her his wild prairie rose
A A7 D
His wild prairie rose
D
Clipped her with his beak
D A A7
and he held her to his yellow breast
D G
And up into the clouds
D A D D7
where she and her meadowlark bound
G D
And he called her his wild prairie rose
A A7 D D7
His wild prairie rose
G D
Called her his wild prairie rose
A A7 D
His wild prairie rose
D
Higher and higher they flew
D A A7
and they did so for days and days
D G
But without her roots
D A D
all her petals were wilted away
D A D
So down to the ground they did come
D A A7
and he laid her in the gritty mud
D G
Her life had seen its last moments
D A D D7
as he flew off for another bud
G D
And he called her his wild prairie rose
A A7 D D7
His wild prairie rose
G D
Called her his wild prairie rose
A A7 D
His wild prairie rose
