the dying cowboy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Oh bury me not[Am]
on the lone [C]prairie
these words came low and mournfully
from the pouted lips of a youth who lay
on his dying [G]bed at the close [C]of day
Oh bury me [Am]not on the lone prair[C]ie
where the coyote howls
and the wind blows free
in a narrow grave just six by three
bury me [G]not on the lone prair[C]ie
It [Am]mat ters not i've o[C]ft been told
where the body lies when the
heart grows cold
yet grant oh grant this wish to me
bury me [G]not on the lone [C]prairie
Oh bury me [Am]not on the lone
prair[C]ie
where the coyote howls
and the wind blows free
in a narrow grave just six by three
oh bury me [G]not on the lone prair[C]ie
He wailed in [Am]pain and o'er
his [C]brow
death's shadows fast were gathering now
he thought of his friends
and his home but nigh
as the cowboys [G]gathered to see him [C]die
Oh bury me [Am]not on the [C]lone prairie
these words came low and mournfully
from the pouted lips of a youth who lay
on his dying [G]bed at the close of [C]day
We took no [Am]heed of his [C]dying prayer
in a narrow grave we buried him there
in a narrow grave just six by three
we buried him [G]there on the lone prair[C]ie
Oh bury me [Am]not on the
lone prair[C]ie
where the coyote howls
and the wind blows free
in a narrow grave just six by three
oh bury me [G]not on the lone [Am]prairie
[C]
