[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

[ G Gmaj7 G7    | C | G A7 | D7 |
(Whistling)
       G     Gmaj7  G7          C     C6 C
And my heart growed lighter and lighter
        D7                     G        C G
And the moon grew brighter and brighter

        D7                     G         Am D7
And the moon grew brighter and brighter
    G         Am D7
And brighter
    G     Am D7  G
