Maple Tears By The Band Of Heathens Written by Gordy Quist and Adam Carroll 3/15/2010 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
