C 
Oh carry me back to the lone prairie 

                                          G7 
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free 

C          Dm          G7   C 
And when I die you can bury me 

Dm                G7                    C 
Neath the western skies on the lone prairie 


             Dm         G7        C 
I'm a roving cowboy far away from home 

             Dm              G7      C 
Far from the prairie where I used to roam 

                  Am                        Dm 
Where the doggies wander and the wind blows free 

                   G7                     C 
Though my heart is yonder on the lone prairie  


C 
Oh carry me back to the lone prairie 

                                          G7 
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free 

C          Dm          G7   C 
And when I die you can bury me 

Dm                G7                    C 
Neath the western skies on the lone prairie
