Intro:
E minorEm

Verse 1:
      E minorEm       G+G
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie
G+G        E minorEm        G+G
These words came slow and mournfully
G+G
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
G+G      E minorEm C majorC        E minorEm
On his dying bed at the close of day.

Verse 2:
      E minorEm             G+G
Oh bury me not. And his voice failed there
G+G        E minorEm          G+G
But they took no heed to his dying prayer.
G+G
In a narrow grave, just six by three,
G+G        E minorEm  C majorC        E minorEm
They buried him there on the lone Prairie.

Solo:
E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm C majorC E minorEm

Verse 3:
      E minorEm         G+G
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie
G+G         E minorEm        G+G
Where the howl of night, who's forcefully
G+G
And the blizzard beats, and the wind blows free.
G+G       E minorEm  C majorC        E minorEm
Oh his lonely pray on the lone Prairy

Verse 4:
        E minorEm          G+G
And the cowboys now as they roam the plain
G+G          E minorEm            G+G
For they marked the spot where his bones were lain,
G+G
Fling a handful of roses or his grave
G+G        E minorEm  C majorC        E minorEm
With a prayer to God, for his soul to save.
