Am Em F C
In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,
G Am F C
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails.
Am Em F C
And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,
G Am F C
"Come on, baby! your bath is ready! it's almost time for sleep!"
Am C E E7
And i wonder, who's the father...
Am C E E7
and i wonder what they call her
E7
Sierra
Am Em F C
does her mother smoke or does she jog every morning?
G Am F C
does she drink when she thinks about me, or doesn't she need to drink?
Am Em F C
does she have a man who works a 9 to 5
G Am F C
does he come home to kiss our young sierra, tuck her in and say goodnight?
Am C E E7
and an extra kiss for mama...
Am C E E7

I could be your carpenter,
C E E7 F F7
and you could be my twinkling north star o'er the desert sky.
