[Verse]
Gmaj7 G
I was under a prairie moon
C
Whistlin' a lonesome tune
G A7 D7
When my rovin' eye came to sight her
G Gmaj7 G7 C C6 C
And my heart growed lighter and lighter
D7 G C G
And the moon grew brighter and brighter
[Verse]
G Gmaj7 G7
When I told her that she was swell
C
She said, "You're swell as well"
G A7 D7
I just don't know who was politer
G Gmaj7 G7 C C6 C
Then my arms just seemed to invite her
D7 G C G
And the moon grew brighter and brighter
[Bridge]
C
(Ee-da-lie-dee-loh-dee-oh)
G
(Eee-da-lie-dee-ay-dee-ay)
A7 D7
So I rounded up some kisses to delight her
G Gmaj7 G7 C C6 C
And she roped me tighter and tighter
D7 G C G
And the moon grew brighter and brighter
[Bridge]
C
(Talked about her eyes of blue)
G
(Talked about a preacher too)
A7 D7
'Twas the preacher talk that seemed to dynamite her
G Gmaj7 G7 C C6 C
She said he could tie the knot that can't be tighter
D7 G C G
And the moon grew brighter and brighter
