Traditional Cowboy Song
Recorded by Michael Martin Murphey
Home On The Range
Oh, [G]give me a [G7]home where the [C]buffalo [Cm]roam
Where the d[G]eer and the antelope p[D7]lay
Where [G]seldom is [G7]heard a dis[C]couraging [Cm]word
and the s[G]kies are not c[D7]loudy all d[G]ay
Chorus:
H[D7]ome, home on the r[G]ange
Where the deer and the antelope p[D7]lay
Where s[G]eldom is heard a disc[C]ouraging w[Cm]ord
and the s[G]kies are not c[D7]loudy all d[G]ay
The Red Man was pressed from this part of the west
It's not likely he'll ever return
to the banks of Red River, where seldom, if ever
his flickering campfires still burn
Repeat chorus
How often at night when the heavens are bright
with the light from the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and asked, as I gazed
if their glory exceeds that of ours
Repeat chorus
Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand
flows leisurely down the stream
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along
like a maid in a heavenly dream
Repeat chorus
