D G D G
 
D Dsus2
When it rains it snows in this prairie town
D Dsus2
Thereâ??s a good three inches on the ground
A G
It seems Iâ??ll be losing any peace Iâ??ve found
 
D Dsus2
I see your face all over this town
D Dsus2
But I know youâ??re nowhere to be found
A G
Youâ??re far away, youâ??re safe and sound
 
D G
Far from this prairie town
D G
Far from this prairie town
 
So leaving seems the thing to do
When Iâ??m here Iâ??m lost in thoughts of you
And in my dreams Iâ??m city bound
 
But if you ask me to come to you
To leave these fields and these skies of blue
You know Iâ??d be leaving my sacred ground
 
D G
Leaving this prairie town
Bm G
Leaving this prairie town
 
Bm A
No oneâ??s love comes close to yours
Bm A
Nothingâ??s what it was before
G Bm
My eyes are heavy and my heart is sore
 
G D
Leaving this prairie town
G A
Leaving this prairie town
 
D Dsus2 A D Dsus2 A
 
D Dsus2
When it rains it snows in this prairie town
D Dsus2
And we just watch it fall to the ground
A G
And wait for love to come around
 
So ask me in that way you do
And Iâ??ll leave these fields and Iâ??ll come to you
And watch my heart as it breaks in two
 
D G
Iâ??m leaving this prairie town
Bm Dsus2
Iâ??m leaving this prairie town
G D
Iâ??m leaving this prairie town
G A
Iâ??m leaving this prairie town
