Colter Wall – Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie (Guitar)

            Em                G
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie

      G/F#       Em                G
These words came slow and mournfully

G
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay

       G/F#   Em  C/G               Em
In his dying bed   at the close of day.

            Em                         G
Oh, bury me not.  And his voice failed there

       G/F#    Em                   G
But we took no heed to his dying prayer.

G
In a narrow grave, just six by three,

   G/F#       Em     C/G             Em
We buried him there   on the lone prairie.

                 (Mr Wall gets a bit tripped up on this bar,
               but I think this is what he meant to play ^)

            Em                G
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie

          G/F#   Em                  G
where the owl of night hoots mournfully,

G
And the blizzard beats, and the winds blow free

         G/F#   Em    C/G             Em
O'er his lonely grave   on the lone prairie.

                Em                   G
And the cowboys now as they roam the plain

       G/F#     Em                        G
For to mark the spot where his bones were lain

G
Fling a handful of roses o'er his grave

       G/F#      Em  C/G               Em
With a prayer to God   for his soul to save.
