// 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
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
