O Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Oh, [C]bury me [Am]not [G]on the lone
[C]prairie.[Am][G]
[C]These words [Am]came low [G]and mou[Eb]rnfully
[Am]From[G] the pallid lips of a youth who lay
[Am]On his dying b[G]ed at the cl[C]ose of day.
Oh, bury me [G]not on [Am]a lone prairie
[C]Where [Am]the wild coyotes
[C]will [G]howl over me
[D]In a narrow[Am] grave jus[G]t s[Am]ix by[C] th[G]ree[Am]
[G]Bury me [Am]not on a lone [G]prairie,[C]
and it [G]matters [C]not, [Am]and I have been [G]told,
where [Am]the [G]body lies
when the heart grows [Am]cold.
Oh, [G]Lord, please grant [Em]this [Am]wish to me,[G]
and bury [Am]me not [Em]on t[Am]he lone pr[G]airie,
[C]oh, bury me not."
[G]And his [Am]voice failed there,
[G]but we too[Am]k no heed of his dying prayer.
[G]An [Am]d in a narrow grave, just six by three,
[G]we buried that cow[F]boy
out [G]on the lone prairie.
Oh, [C]we buried him [G]there on [Am]the lone prairie,
[G]whe[C]re the rat[G]tlesnakes crawl
and [Am]the wind [G]blows free
[Am]where [D]the[G] buffalo roam
[Am]an d[C] the tumbl[Am]eweeds[G] will cover his
[Am]grave [G]on a lone [Am]prairie
[C]please [Am]don't let that [G]hap
[Am]pen [C]to m[Am]e[G]
bury me not [Em]on t[Am]hat l[C]one prairi[G]e
[Am]where [C]the buz[Am]zards wai[G]t
and the wind blows [Am]free[G]
i'm begging [Am]you [G]please[C]
[G]Bury me [Am]not on the lone pra[G]irie.[C][Am]
[C][Am][G][Am][C][Am][C][Am]
[G]Some[D]times I [Am]feel like a
[D]motherless child
Sometimes [G]I f[D]eel like
a motherless child
[G]Some[Am]times I [D]feel [Am]like [D]a
motherless [Am]child[G]
And [D]I've got no [Am]place [G]to [D]call my home
