PRAIRIE LULLABY - Jimmie Rodgers


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.

Coupla tricks:
After the F, play the three treble strings at the first fret. Don't know what that chord is called. Somebody help me.
For the D7, play the D7 that's the C7 position at the third fret.
