When sEhadows creep aAcross the hills,
and puErple streaks the B7sky
when catEtle bunch up Acloser fEor the B7night...
That's Ewhen you hear the Awhippoorwill
start siEnging sweet and B7high,
That's whEen you hear the Aprairie lB7ullaEby.
The breAezes play, the Ebranches sway
sB7omewhere a coyote Ecries,
AAh ee oh Eloh Adi, it's a Eprairie lB7ullaEby.
When lEater on the Asun is gone
The caEmpfire fights the dB7ark,
EAnd a million stars are Atwinkling Ein the B7sky
That's Ewhen you see a cAowboy reach
Efor his old mouth hB7arp
That's wEhen you'll hear the Aprairie lB7ullaEby
The Abreezes play, the bEranches sway
sB7omewhere a coyote Ecries,
AAh ee oh Eloh Adi, it's a pErairie lB7ullaEby.
AAh ee oh Eloh Adi, it's a pErairie lB7ullaEby.

E A E B7

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.
