Blue Prairie chords - Sons Of The Pioneers

See also: Sons Of The Pioneers Lyrics

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.

Every beatin' heart beats a rhythm that is blue.

And the moon has cast a blue reflection on the moon

So the wind while on it's way,

Seems to cry and sigh and say

Blue  ooooh   ooooh

Blue as you....
