Em D That old prairie wind is blowing Em D I can feel it on my face Em D As the land, it rolls out before me D Em Everything is in it's place

Em D Sun comes up, down in the valley Em D In the air, sensation over me Em D When I see comin' up around the corner D Em Both of the Brothers riding right in front of me

Verse 8
Em D Well, I led my darling down the old vermillion way Em D Well, I led her down to the riverside Em D And we said our vows in the moonlight that night C D And we knew from that day we'd never be apart D Em But then it all changed in the blink of an eye
