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)

Am F Em
Blue prairie, Blue are the skies.
Dm E7 Am F E7
Blue are the sighs, Of a night wind, Callin'.
Am F Em
Blue Prairie, Blue are the hills.
Dm E7 Am F E7
Blue are the trills, Of a nightbird, Callin'.
[Chorus]

Every beatin' heart beats a rhythm that is blue.
Am E7 Am E7 Am E7 Am
And the moon has cast a blue reflection on the moon

Seems to cry and sigh and say
G F# G (or down to F)
Blue ooooh ooooh
[Instrumental]

Blue Prairie, Blue echoes ring
Dm E7 Am
Blue as I sing of a longing
F E7 Am
Blue as you....
