Prairie Evening/Sagebrush Waltz

[Intro]
E
 
 
[Verse 1]
E                             A       E
One evening, back home on the prairie
                         B
Was in the fair month of June
A
I set aside
E
My fool notions of pride
       A        F#m        B7
And it wasn't a moment too soon
 
 
[Verse 2]
          E                    A       E
There was music, drinkin', and dancin'
                            B7
I had my fill, if I'm being true
A
Smack dab, center fire
         E
Stood my own heart's desire
        A           F#m            B7
She was shaming the glow of the moon
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                          A       E
Sucked down the last of my courage
                                   B7
And I cut through the dust and the crowd
A
And I took her right hand
E
I asked if she'd stand
      A           F#m         B7
Merle Haggard was ringing out loud
 
 
[Bridge]
              E                        B
I said, "I'll dance with you if you'll have me
F#m                              B
Lord knows I'd be glad to have you
         E                       A
We could burn up this old native prairie
             E           B            E
'Til there's sage on the soles of our shoes"
            B
Sage on the soles of our shoes, sweet darlin'
                         E
Sage on the soles of our shoes
                                    A
We could step to the swings and the shuffles
             E           B            E
'Til there's sage on the soles of our shoes
