// NOTE:  I like to put a low F# note around the G chords, especially where they open a line and repeat. 

(F#) G   (F#)  G        D   G 
I    saw her   first ... 
(F#)   G         Bm  C   D 
As she walked ... 
(F#) G    (F#)    G       C   G 
Her  hair lit the world ...  

// The major seventh adds dynamic to the melody, but I'm leaving it out for the sake of legibility. 

// Verse 

  G       G           D     G 
I saw her first on an april morn' 
       G                  Bm        C        D 
As she walked through the mist in a field of hay 
    G            G              C      G 
Her hair lit the world with its golden glow 
        G            Bm   Am        D     G 
And the smile on her face burned my heart away 



G       Bm       Am   D    G 
Alberta let your hair hang low 
G                F         D 
Alberta let your hair hang low 
     C             Bm             D         G 
I'll give you more gold than your apron can hold 
          G    Bm       Am   D    G 
if you'll only let your hair hang low 


I thought my golden time would last 
But the field of hay was soon cut down 
In a short few weeks it all was past 
And my golden girl just a painful song 

Alberta, what's on your mind 
Alberta, what's on your mind 
My heart is so sad, 'cause you treat me so bad 
Alberta, what's on your mind 

G        Bm       Am   D    G 
Alberta, let your hair hang low
