As recorded by Moe Bandy (From the 1978 Album SOFT LIGHTS AND HARD COUNTRY MUSIC) [Intro] D A7 D [Verse 1]
D
The old man used to dream of the fortunes he'd seek

       G
Now he lives in a room where you pay by the week

    A7
His hands are all battered and his pony's gone lame

                                                  D
And his bones always ache when the sky looks like rain
[Verse 2]
D
Well, he dreams of the old days when bronc bustin' paid

        G
And the wide open spaces where buffalo play

A7
Deep in his mem'ry wild horses ride on

                                              D    D7
But he knows the good times have all come and gone
[Chorus]
        G                  D
There's nobody home on the range anymore

        A                             D
They've closed down the bunkhouse and padlocked the door

            G                       D            Bm
Now there's oilwells and motels and folks by the score

            D                  A        D
But there's nobody home on the range anymore
[Guitar Solo] D A D [Verse 3]
D
Now the eagle stop flyin' the night wind is still

        G
And the last coyote's howlin' on some lonely hill

    A7
The old man is longin' to lay all down

                                         D
In his final box canyon the poor side of town
[Verse 4]
D
'Cause he knows his last mountain is two flights of stairs

        G
And his saddle's turned into an old rocking chair

A7
Mornings he wakes up and wonders what for

                                          D    D7
Cause there's nobody home on the range anymore
[Out-Chorus]
        G                  D
There's nobody home on the range anymore

        A                             D
They've closed down the bunkhouse and padlocked the door

            G                       D            Bm
Now there's oilwells and motels and folks by the score

            D                  A        D
But there's nobody home on the range anymore

N.C.                                         D
No, there's nobody home on the range anymore
