[Verse 1]
E A E
One evening, back home on the prairie
B
Was in the fair month of June
A
I set aside
E
My fool notions of pride
A F#m B7
And it wasn’t a moment too soon
[Verse 2]
E A E
There was music, drinkin’, and dancin’
B7
I had my fill, if I’m being true
A
Smack dab, center fire
E
Stood my own heart’s desire
A F#m B7
She was shaming the glow of the moon
[Verse 3]
E A E
Sucked down the last of my courage
B7
And I cut through the dust and the crowd
A
And I took her right hand
E
I asked if she’d stand
A F#m B7
Merle Haggard was ringing out loud
[Bridge]
E B
I said, “I’ll dance with you if you’ll have me
F#m B
Lord knows I’d be glad to have you
E A
We could burn up this old native prairie
E B E
‘Til there’s sage on the soles of our shoes”
B
Sage on the soles of our shoes, sweet darlin’
E
Sage on the soles of our shoes
A
We could step to the swings and the shuffles
E B E
‘Til there’s sage on the soles of our shoes
[Outro-Guitar & Fiddle Solos]
