Gm Dm D# A#
In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,
F Gm D# A#
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails.
Gm Dm D# A#
And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,
F Gm D# A#
"Come on, baby! your bath is ready! it's almost time for sleep!"
Gm A# D D7
And i wonder, who's the father...
Gm A# D D7
and i wonder what they call her
D7
Sierra
Gm Dm D# A#
does her mother smoke or does she jog every morning?
F Gm D# A#
does she drink when she thinks about me, or doesn't she need to drink?
Gm Dm D# A#
does she have a man who works a 9 to 5
F Gm D# A#
does he come home to kiss our young sierra, tuck her in and say goodnight?
Gm A# D D7
and an extra kiss for mama...
Gm A# D D7
i want that kiss, that kid, that apartment
D# A#
i'm ready to settle down now
Gm F
so get that man out of my bed
D# Gm
i want my daughter back now
A# /A D D# D#7
i want to kiss her, tuck her in, and say, "goodnight, my baby girl"
D#7

F Gm

D# A#
and i don't deserve to
Gm Dm D# A#
sierra sierra sierra sierra
F

Gm D# A#

D# Gm
but i'm ready to settle down now
A# D D7

D# Gm
I could be your carpenter,
A# D D7 D# D#7
and you could be my twinkling north star o'er the desert sky.
