Johnny Cash - Bury me not on the lone prairie

^G&quo^G6t;Oh bur^Emy me^Em7 not on^Em/G the lon^Ge Prairie" ^GThese ^G6words came ^Emlow ^Em7and ^Emmourn - ^Em4ful - ^Gly ^GFrom the pallid ^Glips of^G a youth w^Gm7ho lay ^GOn his dying ^Embed at the ^Em7close of ^Gday.

^GHe h^G6as wasted ^Emand ^Em7pined 'til o'^Em/Ger his b^Grow ^GDeath'^G6s shades we^Emre s^Em7lowl^Emy gather^Em4ing no^Gw. ^GHe thought of ho^Gme and ^Gloved ones^Gm7 nigh, ^GAnd the cowbo^Emys gathered^Em7 to see h^Gim die.

^G&quo^G6t;Oh bur^Emy me^Em7 not on^Em/G the lon^Ge Prairie, ^GWhere ^G6the coyotes^Em how^Em7l an^Emd the wi^Em4nd blo^Gws free. ^GIn a narrow grav^Ge just ^Gsix by thr^Gm7ee ^GOh bury me no^Emt on the lo^Em7ne Prairi^Ge."

^G&quo^G6t;It mat^Emters^Em7 not, I^Em/G've oft ^Gbeen told, ^GWhere ^G6the body li^Emes w^Em7hen ^Emthe hear^Em4t grow^Gs cold. ^GYet grant, oh gr^Gant, th^Gis wish to^Gm7 me, ^GOh bury me no^Emt on the lo^Em7ne Prairi^Ge."

^G&quo^G6t;I've a^Emlway^Em7s wishe^Em/Gd to be ^Glaid when I died ^GIn a l^G6ittle churc^Emhyar^Em7d on^Em a green^Em4 hills^Gide. ^GBy my father's g^Grave th^Gere let me^Gm7 be, ^GOh bury me no^Emt on the lo^Em7ne Prairi^Ge."

^G&quo^G6t;I wish^Em to ^Em7lie whe^Em/Gre a mot^Gher's prayer ^GAnd a ^G6sister's te^Emar w^Em7ill ^Emmingle t^Em4here. ^{G G}Where friends ca^Gn come ^Gand weep o^Gm7'er me. ^GOh bury me no^Emt on the lo^Em7ne Prairi^Ge."

^G&quo^G6t;For th^Emere'^Em7s anoth^Em/Ger whose^G tears will shed ^GFor th^G6e one who l^Emies ^Em7in a^Em Prairie^Em4 bed. ^{G G}It breaks my hea^Grt to t^Ghink of he^Gm7r now, ^GShe has curled thes^Eme locks; she ha^Em7s kissed this b^Grow."

^G&quo^G6t;Oh bur^Emy me^Em7 not...^Em/G" A^Gnd his voice failed there ^GBut th^G6ey took no ^Emheed^Em7 to ^Emhis dyin^Em4g pray^Ger. ^GIn a narrow grav^Ge, just^G six by th^Gm7ree, ^GThey buried h^Emim there on^Em7 the lone^G Prairie.

^GAnd ^G6the cowb^Emoys ^Em7now as ^Em/Gthey roa^Gm the plain ^GFor th^G6ey marked t^Emhe s^Em7pot ^Emwhere hi^Em4s bone^Gs were lain, ^GFling a handful ^Gof rose^Gs o'er his^Gm7 grave ^GWith a prayer^Em to God, hi^Em7s soul to^G save.
