Am The north wind blows a prairie fire G Am Across the open plain Am A light shines on a granite stone G Am Where someone carved my name
[Chorus]
F G Sister, find the preacher-man Am F Daddy, call the law Am F Things have gotten out of hand G Am Here in Arkansas

Am An icy ring around the moon G Am A fire across the sky Am They buried me this afternoon G Am And left me here to die

Am All the elders did decree G Am My soul to be unclean Am They strapped me to a gurney G Am And gave me morphine
[Chorus]
