Home On The Range
Traditional Cowboy Song
Recorded by Michael Martin Murphey



             Home On The Range


    G         G7             C       Cm
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
           G                     D7
Where the deer and the antelope play
      G         G7         C         Cm
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
         G             D7         G
and the skies are not cloudy all day

Chorus:
 D7                G
Home, home on the range
                                 D7
Where the deer and the antelope play
       G                    C         Cm 
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
         G             D7         G
and the skies are not cloudy all day

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
