The Sons of San Joaquin recorded a remake of "Blue Prairie". It differs from the 1946 recording I have submitted earlier of the Sons of the Pioneers by using the last verse first and twice at the end; and by having an additional set of lyrics (left off the 1946 recording). According to the Sons of San Joaquin's liner notes about "Blue Prairie" on the CD "A Cowboy has to Sing"; the Sons of the Pioneers originally recorded the tune "Blue Prairie in 1934 on Standard Radio Transcriptions. "Blue Prairie" was written by Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer of the "Sons of the Pioneers". The additional lyrics make this 1934 version (remade by the Sons of San Joaquin) more of a challenge to a player then the simpler 1946 version. I think with the addition of the additional bridge this version could be called a deluxe version of this haunting piece. *** Blue Prairie ************************************* (Capo up to 3rd Fret for same Key as recording) Am F Em Blue Prairie, Blue echoes ring Dm E7 Am Blue as I sing of a longing F E7 Am Blue as you.... Am E7 Weary day and lonely night, Am E7 Seem to say that nothin's right C C7 F Fm6 Everything is feelin' blue oooh, C Am G G7 Here in my very soul I feel it too, oooh Am E7 C Far in the distant hills I hear a cry, G# G# G G7 And silent hushed but no reply C C7 F Fm6 Prairie won't you tell me true, Cm Gdim G Why have you cast this gloomy blanket of blue, G7 C Over you? Am F Em Blue prairie, Blue are the skies. Dm E7 Am F E7 Blue are the sighs, Of a night wind, Fallin'. Am F Em Blue Prairie, Blue are the hills. Dm E7 Am F E7 Blue are the trills, Of a nightbird, Callin'. (chorus)----------------------------------- Am E Am E Am E Am 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 Fdim So the wind while on it's way, F#dim Seems to cry and sigh and say Gdim F#dim Gdim (or down to Fdim) Blue ooooh ooooh ------------------------------------------------ repeat verse 1, then chorus, and again repeat verse one to end song __________suggested chords________________________ Fdim XX0101 or 000101 (for more disonant haunting sound) F#dim XX1212 Fm6 XX0111 Gdim XX2323 G# XX6544 G X55433 (this version of G chord sounds better than the- more opened string version for this piece)
