Intro:
Em

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

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

Solo:
Em G Em G Em C Em

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

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