I couldn't wait too long for someone to come up with an arrangement for this
tune so I came up with a chord arrangement that works for me. It is simpler
than the actual arrangement I think--- I capoed up 3 frets to get some
easier chords and left out a few chords to simplify playing this song a bit.
The second line in the chorus befuddled me as the arrangement is more
complex than what I have. If anyone can get it better please do help.
OK. So here is what I got for my chord arrangement on "Blue Prairie"; the
song by Tim Spencer and Bob Nolan of the "Sons of the Pioneers" recording in
August 1946 . I have the "Sons of the Pioneers- Tumbleweeds (The RCA Victor
Years Vol.1) on CD and I recommend it highly.
Blue Prairie (Capo up to 3rd Fret for same Key as recording)
Intro Am Am7 Am6 F Am E7 Am
[Am]Blue prairie, Bl[F]ue are the skies.[Em]
[Dm]Blue are the sigh[E7]s, Of a night[Am] wind, Callin'[F].[E7]
[Am]Blue Prairie, Blu[F]e are the hills.[Em]
[Dm]Blue are the tr[E7]ills, Of a nig[Am]htbird, Cal[F]lin'.[E7]
(chorus)-----------------------------------
[Am]Every b[E]eatin' hea[Am]rt b[E]eats a rhy[Am]thm that i[E]s blue.[Am]
[Am]And the moon[E7] has cast a [Am]blue re[E7]flectio[Am]n on the[E7] moon[Am]
[Fdim]So the wind while on it's way,
[F#]Seems to cry and sigh and say
G F# G (or down to F)
Blue ooooh ooooh
Instr. Break
--------------------------------------
[Am]Blue Prairie, Blu[F]e echoes ring[Em]
[Dm]Blue as I si[E7]ng of a long[Am]ing
[F]Blue as[E7] you[Am]....
(Chorus and repeat verse 3 to end)
Fdim XX0101 or 000101 (for more disonant haunting sound)
F# X44322
G X55433
