Dakota Lullaby Tom Peterson

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
