"Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie"
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
These words came low and mourn - ful - ly
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
On his dying bed at the close of day.


Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6        Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7          Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
He has wasted and pined 'til o'er his brow
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
Death's shades were slowly gathering now.
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
He thought of home and loved ones nigh,
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
And the cowboys gathered to see him die.
Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6      Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
"Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie,
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free.
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
In a narrow grave just six by three
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie."


Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6      Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
"It matters not, I've oft been told,
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
Where the body lies when the heart grows cold.
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
Yet grant, oh grant, this wish to me,
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie."


Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6      Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
"I've always wished to be laid when I died
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
In a little churchyard on a green hillside.
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
By my father's grave there let me be,
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie."
Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6      Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
"I wish to lie where a mother's prayer
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
And a sister's tear will mingle there.
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
Where friends can come and weep o'er me.
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie."


Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6      Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
"For there's another whose tears will shed
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
For the one who lies in a Prairie bed.
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
It breaks my heart to think of her now,
Chord diagramG+G                  Chord diagramE minorEm             Chord diagramE minor 7Em7            Chord diagramG+G
She has curled these locks; she has kissed this brow."


Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6      Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
"Oh bury me not..." And his voice failed there
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
But they took no heed to his dying prayer.
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
In a narrow grave, just six by three,
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
They buried him there on the lone Prairie.


Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramG6G6      Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7    Chord diagramEm/GEm/G    Chord diagramG+G
And the cowboys now as they roam the plain
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramG6G6         Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramE minorEm      Em4   Chord diagramG+G
For they marked the spot where his bones were lain,
Chord diagramG+G               G(5)      Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramGm7Gm7
Fling a handful of roses o'er his grave
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramG+G
With a prayer to God, his soul to save.
