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.
