These plains are an ocean that's where we grieve

We hit a low like the Titanic
D5           B5         A5            G5
Some kind of affair but she's already gone
         A                  G

Indian princess was a blockbuster
D          D6           D        D6      G
Dances the waltz at her father's country club
       Em
The southern boys, yeah yeah
 D       D6            D        D6
Everyone waits for you and mint juleps
