            Home On The Range

   D         D7             G       Em
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
          D                    G A7
Where the deer and the antelope play
     D         D7         G         Em
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
        D            A7         D
and the skies are not cloudy all day

Chorus:
A7                D
Home, home on the range
         Em                        A7
Where the deer and the antelope play
      D        D7            G         Em
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
        D             A7         D
and the skies are not cloudy all day
   D           D7                G           Em
The Red Man was pressed from this part of the west
          D               G A7
It's not likely he'll ever return
      D            D7            G         Em
to the banks of the River, where seldom, if ever
   D           A7             D
his flickering campfires still burn

Repeat chorus


   D         D7             G          Em
How often at night when the heavens are bright
         Em                        A7
with the light from the glittering stars
      D           D7         G           Em
Have I stood there amazed and asked, as I gazed
        D       A7            D
if their glory exceeds that of ours


Repeat chorus
   D         D7             G              Em
Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand
     Em                    A7
flows leisurely down to the stream
         D              D7        G         Em
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along
      D         A7       D
like a maid in a heavenly dream

Repeat chorus
