Intro Verse:

Dm      Gm   A7 Dm
Shadows slow-ly creeping
         A7      Dm
Down the  prairie trail
     A7        Dm
Every-thing is  sleeping
F           Db7     C7
All but the nightin gale

Dm         Gm  A7 Dm
 Moon will soon be climbing
      A7     Dm
In the purple sky
            A7     Dm
Night winds  all a  humming
     F       Db7    C7
This  tender  lulla -by

Cares of the day have fled
          Bb
My little sleepyhead
    F         C7     F   C7
The stars are in the sky
               F           F7
Time that your prayers were said
              Bb     Bbm6
My little old sleepy head
     F       C7    F
To a prairie lulla -by

C7
Saddle up your pony
    F
The sandman’s here
   G7                          C7
To guide you down the trail of dreams
          F      F7
Tumble in bed my child
         Bb      Bbm6
Lil’ old  sleepy head
     F       C7    F
To a prairie lulla -by
