Gm F C

[Verse 1]
N.C.           F                           C/E                        C       G   Am C
Follow the typical signs, the hand painted lines down prairie roads.
               F                            C/E                                     C      G Am  C
Pass the lone church spire, pass the talking wire from where to who knows?
C               F                           C/E                                    C      G Am  C
There's no way to divide the beauty of the sky from the wild western plains.
           F                               C/E                        C            G Am C
Where a man could drift in legendary myth by roaming over spaces
                                          F               C
The land was free and the price was right

[Verse 2]
Gm                                  F                                                C
Dakota on the wall is a white robed woman tall yet maidenly
Gm                                 F                                                   C
Such power in her hand as she hails the wagon man's family.
         Gm                                             F                                     C
I see Indians that crawl through this mural that recalls our history

[Verse 3]
                       F
Who were the homestead wives?
        C
Who were the gold rush brides?
C         G    Am   C
Does anybody know?
              F                              C                             C    G    Am    C
Do their works survive their yellow fever lives in pages they wrote?
                       C              F              C
The land was free yet it cost their lives

[Verse 4]
Gm                                                F                                                     C
In miner's lust for gold a family's house was bought and sold piece by piece
Gm                                            F                                             C
A widow staked her claim on a dollar and his name so painfully
     Gm                                                      F                                                           C
In letters mailed back home her Eastern sisters they would moan as they would read
     Gm                           F                                 C
Accounts of madness childbirth loneliness and grief
     Gm                           F                                 C
Accounts of madness, childbirth, loneliness and grief
