Prairie Lullabye

E A E B7 2x 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.
