D                        A
It's lullaby time in the desert
         D        G       A
When the coyotes start to howl
    D                     A
The roadrunner stops his running around
        G                          A
Just to hear the lonely cry of the owl

[Chorus]
           G                 D
Won't you lay your head down on the sand
                             Bm
Listen to the whippoorwill's song
              D
All along the desert tonight
  A                          D
Sleepy eyes are closing 'til dawn

[Verse 2]
          D                        A
There's a full moon rising in the desert tonight
          D       G      A
Help the Sand Man on his way
     D                       A
The flowers are blooming the cactus arising
      G                      A
God's garden every brand new day

[Verse 3]
    D                           A
The deer will lay down with the lion
         D             G          A
And the jack rabbit's dancing to noon
     D                A
The Sand Man comes to show you the way
         G                         A
To shake hands with the man in the moon
