    When I was a growing boy, 
        C                                     G 
    a-rocking on my daddy's knee, 
       C                          G               A 
    Daddy took an old guitar and sang 
        C                                  G 
    “Bury me on the lone prairie.” 

                C                     G 
    Uncle Bob sat at the piano, 
                  C                            G 
    my girl cousins sang harmony, 
       C                                   G       A 
    those were the good old family times 
            C                          G 
    that left a big mark on me.

Bury me out on the prairie where the buffalo used to roam, 
                   C                             G            A 
where the Canada geese once filled the sky, 
          C                    D           G 
and then I won't be far from home. 
  C                              G                         C                     G 
Bury me out on the prairie, where the buffalo used to roam, 
         C                              G          A 
you won't have to shed a tear for me, 
              C                                  G 
'cause then I won't be far from home.

       C                                                G 
    Walking down the trans-Canada highway, 
              C                    G 
    I was talking to a firefly, 
      C                                      G                          A 
    trying to make my way to Nashville, Tennessee, 
                  C                               G 
    when another car passed me by. 

                C                                      G 
    Some day I'm gonna make big money, 
             C                             G 
    and buy myself a big old car, 
                      C                               G           A 
    make my way on down to that promised land, 
              C                     D           G 
    and then I'm gonna really go far.

Bury me out on the prairie where the buffalo used to roam, 
                   C                             G            A 
where the Canada geese once filled the sky,

and then I won't be far from home.

Just bury me out on the prairie, where the buffalo used to roam, 
         C                              G         A 
you won't have to shed a tear for me, 
              C                                  G 
'cause then I won't be far from home.
