Verse 1
  G                        G7 
she stand all alone so weathered and old 
             C                     G 
like a painting on a dark prairie sky 
         Bm                      D 
just a naked old lady with the years of her glory 
    G              G7          D 
she gives me the treasure of time 
 
Verse 2
 G 
in the eyes of her soul 
          G7 
are all broken and shattered 
             C                        G 
like the dreams of the sons that she bore 
         Bm 
and she gives up her secrets 
        D 
to this last generation 
    G          G7          D 
crying on her bosom once more 
 
Chorus
     Bm       A        D 
and I have come full circle 
 G                  D 
don’t ever take me away 
    Bm      A           D       G 
for I have come full circle my darling 
     G               A             D 
and I’ll lay here beside you some day 
 
Verse 3
 G 
once she had beauty 
 G7 
all dressed in white satin 
           C                        G 
like a bride filled with hope and desire 
      Bm 
well she could have stayed young 
      D 
if those that had loved her 
     G                G7           D 
had stayed with the warmth of her fire 
 
Verse 4
  G 
now the sons and the daughters 
        G7 
of the last generation 
        C                    G 
will start the full circle again 
           Bm 
that’s a promise she gives me 
          D 
as she stands on the prairie 
  G               G7     D 
if I could just love her again 
 
Verse 5
 G 
now the weeds and barbed wire 
     G7 
are all tangled about her 
          C                      G 
let the prairie wind dance real slow 
         Bm 
well if she had a name 
    D 
I just can’t remember 
  G                   G7            D 
So I guess I’ll just call her back home
