Alberta

// NOTE:  I like to put a low F# note around the G chords, especially where they open a line and repeat.

(F#) G   (F#)  G        D   G
I    saw her   first ...
(F#)   G         Bm  C   D
As she walked ...
(F#) G    (F#)    G       C   G
Her  hair lit the world ... 

// The major seventh adds dynamic to the melody, but I'm leaving it out for the sake of legibility.

// Verse

  G       G           D     G
I saw her first on an april morn'
       G                  Bm        C        D
As she walked through the mist in a field of hay
    G            G              C      G
Her hair lit the world with its golden glow
        G            Bm   Am        D     G
And the smile on her face burned my heart away

// Chorus

G       Bm       Am   D    G
Alberta let your hair hang low
G                F         D
Alberta let your hair hang low
     C             Bm             D         G
I'll give you more gold than your apron can hold
          G    Bm       Am   D    G
if you'll only let your hair hang low

I thought my golden time would last
But the field of hay was soon cut down
In a short few weeks it all was past
And my golden girl just a painful song

Alberta, what's on your mind
Alberta, what's on your mind
My heart is so sad, 'cause you treat me so bad
Alberta, what's on your mind

G        Bm       Am   D    G
Alberta, let your hair hang low
