lyrics

(D run, twice)
Plastic bags are catching air they’re dancing
Reaching wings white as wedding gowns
Haven’t known for years where you are, I’m not asking
The revival must be over. The tents are coming down.
(em A run)
oil derricks old men bending
Is it me or is it everything that’s ending

(D run, twice)
I was a boy when they built the new corn palace
There’s ’s nothing like it anywhere they’d tell us
It ’ll bring folks in from everywhere, far away as Dallas
Corn palace will save the town

(chorus)
Bet you never been back to South Dakota
You said there’s nothing here but indians and gin
Don’t know how you’d find me I don’t look much like the photos
Whatever man you’d come to look for
I’m not him

(D run twice)
Hollas creek is running high so much snow last winter
Cows are chewing sideways bet you know why I think of you
If you ask me the sun has gotten thinner
I can stare straight up at it. Something you’re not supposed to do

(em A run)
Nobody bales now days. They roll em
It’s quick and easy but there’s a lot of wasted hay

(D run)
Why’d we waste so much money getting married at the Palace
Forget why it had to be Saint Catherine’s day

(chorus)
Bet you never been back to south Dakota
You said there’s nothing here but indians and gindon’t know how you’d find me I Don't know how you'd find me, I don't look much like the photos
Whoever you’d come to look for
I’m not him

(D run, twice)
Plastic bags like dancers at a wedding
Its crazy the things folks throw away
What if we’d got hitched at the courthouse instead an
Put the money down on the Hartman place
(em A run)
angry for years after you left me
Don’t know where those years or where that anger went
(D run)
Is it true what they say when you left you were pregnant
That you had the kid and gave the kid away
(em A run)
Think of you when I see hay rolls. Of you and all that wasted hay
(D run)
Everybody got so drunk at our wedding at the Palace
Hey why’d it have to be St. Catherine’s day?

D run: D G A, with long base walkdown
Em A run: em A em em/G A
Chorus: Em A Em G A D G A (em A run followed by the D run)
