Verse 1
Cm
Oh,
Ab
Eb
bury me not on the lone prair ie
Ab
These words came low and mournfully
Eb
Cm
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
Ab
Gm
Cm
On his dying bed at the close of day.
Ab
Eb
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
Ab
Where the wild coyote
Eb
will howl o 'er me
Where the buffalo roams
Cm
on the prairie sea
Ab
Cm
Gm
Oh, bury me not on the lone prair ie
Cm
Eb
Ab
It makes no difference,
Eb
so I've been told,
Ab
Where the body lies,
Eb
when life grows cold.
Cm
But grant, I pray, one wish to me,
Ab
Gm
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie.
Cm
Ab
I've often wished
Eb
to be laid when I died
Ab
By the little church on
Cm
Eb
the green hill side
Cm
By my father's grave there let mine be
Ab
Gm
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
Cm
Ab
Cm
Eb
The cowboys gathered all around the bed
Ab
To hear the last words
Eb
that their comrade said
Oh, partners all,
Cm
take a warning from me
Ab
Never leave your homes for
Cm
Gm
Cm
the lone prair ie
Ab
Eb
Don't listen to the enticing words
Ab
of the men who own
Eb
Large droves and herds, for if you do,
Cm
You'll rue the day,
Ab
that you left your homes
Gm
for the lone prairie.
Cm
Eb
Ab
Oh, bury me not,
Eb
but his voice fell there
Ab
Cm
Eb
But we paid no heed to his dying prayer
Cm
In a narrow grave, just six by three
Ab
Gm
We buried him there on the lone prairie
Cm
Eb
Ab
We buried him there on
Cm
Eb
the lone prair ie
Ab
Where the buzzards fly
Cm
Eb
and the wind blows free
Where the rattlesnakes rattle
Cm
and the tumble weeds
Ab
Gm
Blow across his grave on the lone prairie
Cm
Ab
And the cowboys now,
Eb
as they cross the plains
Ab
Have marked the spot where
Cm
Eb
his bones are lain
Cm
Fling a handful of roses o 'er his grave
Ab
And pray to the Lord
Gm
Cm
that his soul be saved
Eb
Cm
In a narrow grave just six by three
Ab
Gm
We buried him there on the lone prair ie.
