Capo 1 

    G          D  
Ole buttermilk sky
    G          D   G         D
I'm keepin' my eye peeled on you 
                D
What's the good word tonight 
        G        D 
Are you gonna be mellow tonight 
    G          D
Ole buttermilk sky 
          G             D
Can't you see my little donkey and me 
         G          Bm
We're as happy as a christmas tree 
A                    D
Headed for the one I love 

                      G              D/F# 
I'm gonna pop her the question, that question 
G      A               D
Do you Darling, do you do 
         G        D/F#
It'll be easy, so easy 
   E7                 A
If I can only bank on you 


Ole buttermilk sky 
I'm telling you why now you know 
Keep it in mind tonight 
Keep a-brushing those clouds from sight 
Ole buttermilk sky 
Don't you fail me when I'm needing you most 
Hang a moon above her hitching post 
And hitch me to the one I love 

You can if you try 
Don't tell me no lie 
Will you be mellow and bright tonight 
Buttermilk sky 

Solo 

Ole buttermilk sky 
Don't you fail me when I'm needing you most 
Hang a moon above her hitching post 
And hitch me to the one I love 

You can if you try 
Don't tell me no lie 
Will you be mellow and bright tonight 
Buttermilk sky 

Will you be mellow and bright tonight
Buttermilk Sky
