Albert King – Dakota Lullaby Tom Peterson (Guitar)

A         D          E
Hear that black crow calling

      A   
as he comes home in the spring

         E           D            E 
Hear the last of the sad coyote's cry

         D 
Hear the ghost of the plain

            A        D
Sing of the buffalo again

          Bm           D         A
And fall asleep to a Dakota Lullaby

    D              E
The wind sings the names

       A       
Of the ones who have returned

        E            D                   E
To this holy land on which their fathers toiled

       D      
If you fall down on your knees

         A               D
Put your ear down to the earth

          Bm                 D              A
You might hear their spirits singing in the soil

A         D          E
Hear that black crow calling

      A   
as he comes home in the spring

         E           D            E 
Hear the last of the sad coyote's cry

         D 
Hear the ghost of the plain

            A        D
Sing of the buffalo again

          Bm           D         A
And fall asleep to a Dakota Lullaby

D             E
Time rolls forever

         A  
Like the lazy grey Missouri

E         D                      E
Stars up above the dusty prairie shine

          D   
There's a million sleeping braves

              A                  D
They're gonna rise up from their graves

             Bm         D                A
And sing the songs that hold no trace of time

A         D          E
Hear that black crow calling

      A   
as he comes home in the spring

         E           D            E 
Hear the last of the sad coyote's cry

         D 
Hear the ghost of the plain

            A        D
Sing of the buffalo again

          Bm           D         A
And fall asleep to a Dakota Lullaby
