    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.

   C                             G                        C                     G
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,
          C                                 G
and then I won't be far from home.
         C                              G                         C                     G
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.
