E A E B7 x2
E A
When shadows creep across the hills,
E B7
and purple streaks the sky
E A E B7
when cattle bunch up closer for the night...
E A
That's when you hear the whippoorwill
E B7
start singing sweet and high,
E A B7 E
That's when you hear the prairie lullaby.
A E
The breezes play, the branches sway
B7 E
somewhere a coyote cries,
A E A E B7 E
Ah ee oh loh di, it's a prairie lullaby.
E A
When later on the sun is gone
E B7
The campfire fights the dark,
E A E B7
And a million stars are twinkling in the sky
E A
That's when you see a cowboy reach
E B7
for his old mouth harp
E A B7 E
That's when you'll hear the prairie lullaby
A E
The breezes play, the branches sway
B7 E
somewhere a coyote cries,
A E A E B7 E
Ah ee oh loh di, it's a prairie lullaby.
A E A E B7 E
Ah ee oh loh di, it's a prairie lullaby.
