[Intro]
G F D5 D5 G F D5 D5 G F D5 D5 G F D5 D5 G F
[Verse 1]
  D5                       D5          G  F
Trying to remember what my daddy said
  D5                       D5          G  F
Before too much time took away his head
  D5                       D5                                  G  F
He said we're going back and i'll show you what i'm talking about
  D5                       D5                        G  F
Going back to cypress river, back to the old farmhouse
D5 D5
[Chorus]
G                     F              D5   D5
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

  D5                       D5                               G  F
I tried to tell the people but they never heard a word i say
  D5                       D5                             G  F
They say there's nothing out there but wheat fields anyway
  D5                       D5                       G  F
Just a farmer's wife hanging laundry in her back yard
   D5                       D5                      G  F
Out on the prairie where the winds blow long and hard

[Verse 3]
  D5                       D5                   G  F
Late at night, lights dancing in the northern sky
  D5                       D5                   G  F
N.C.
   D5                       D5                      G  F
Like the indian spirits trying to show me how to fly
D5                       D5                   G  F
N.C.
  D5                       D5                     G  F
You can see into the future but it may be a mirage
D5                       D5                   G  F
N.C.
  D5                       D5                  G  F
Like a new car sitting there in your old garage

  D5                       D5                             G  F
There's a place on the prairie where evil and goodness play
  D5                       D5                              G  F
Daddy told me all about it but i don't remember what he said
  D5                       D5                         G  F
It might be afternoon and it might be the dead of night
  D5                       D5                                    G  F
But you'll know when you see it cause it sure is a hell of a sight
