[Intro]
---------------------
Bb

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Eb           Cm                 Eb
  O' bury me not on the lone prarie
                 Cm              Eb
These words came low and mournfully
                Cm                   Cm7
From the pallid lips, o' a youth who lay
             F7sus4                   Eb
On his dying bed   at the close of day

[Verse 2]
---------------------
            Cm               Cm7
"It matters not, I have been told
                   Cm                    Cm7
Where the body lies  when the heart goes cold
                  Cm             Cm7
But grant o' grant  this wish to me 
              F7sus4               Eb
Well, bury me not   on the lone prarie"
                Cm             Cm7
"O' bury me not on the lone prarie

[Verse 3]
---------------------
                  Cm                      Eb
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
                Cm              Cm7
Where not a soul  will care for me 
           F7sus4               Eb
O' bury me not   on the lone prarie"

[Verse 4]
---------------------
              Cm                 Cm7
"I wish to lie  where a mother's prayer
            Cm              Cm7
Or sister's tear all mingle there
                  Cm                 Cm7
Where friends can come and weep o'er me 
           F7sus4               Eb
O' bury me not   on the lone prarie"
                 Cm                 Eb
"O' bury me not,"  his voice failed there

[Verse 5]
---------------------
              Cm                  Eb
And we took no  heed o' his dying prayer
           Cm                   Cm7
In a narrow  grave, just six by three
                 F7sus4                   Eb
O' we buried him there out on the lone prarie

[Verse 6]
---------------------
               Cm                    Cm7
And the cowboys  now, as we roam the plains
                Cm                        Cm7
For we mark the spot where his bones were lain
                 Cm             Cm7
Put a handful o' roses o'er his grave
                   F7sus4                    Eb
And a prayer to God      for the soul to save
