PRAIRIE LULLABY - originally by Jimmie Rodgers I think, but I love Eliza's version.
Am Dm Am
Shadows slowly creeping
Am Dm Am
Down the prairie's trail,
Am Dm Am
Everything is sleeping
G G# G
All but the nightingale.
Am Dm Am
Moon will soon be climbing
Am E Am
In the purple sky,
Am Dm Am
Night wind softly humming
G E Am G7
This tender lullaby.
CHORUS
C C7
Cares of the day have fled,
C7 F
My little sleepyhead.
C G7 C
The stars are in the sky.
C C7
Time that your prayers were said,
F
My little sleepyhead.
C G7 C
To a prairie lullaby.
G
Saddle up your pony.
C
The sandman's here
D7 G G7
To guide you down the trail of dreams.
C C7
Tumble in bed, my child,
F
You old sleepyhead,
C G7 C
To a prairie lullaby.
