The Lone Prairie taby ukulele według Sam Shackleton (Chwyty barytonu)

Intro: Eb Cm Eb

Verse 1:
             Cm                  Eb
“Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie”
                 Cm             Eb
These words came low and mournfully
                 Cm                  Eb
From the pallid lips o' a youth who lay
                Bb                Eb
On his dying bed at the close of day

Verse 2:
            Cm                 Eb
"It matters not, oh I've been told
               Cm                          Eb
Where the body lies when the heart grows cold
              Cm                  Eb
But grant, oh grant, this wish to me
             Bb                  Eb
Well, bury me not on the lone prairie"

Verse 3:
             Cm                  Eb
"Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
                  Cm                      Eb
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
            Cm                 Eb
Where not a soul will care for me
                Bb               Eb
Well, bury me not on the lone prairie"

Verse 4:
           Cm                     Eb
"I wish to lie where a mother's prayer
            Cm                 Eb
Or sister's tears can mingle there
                  Cm                 Eb
Where friends can come and weep o'er me
               Bb                Eb
Well, bury me not on the lone prairie"

Verse 5:
            Cm                     Eb
"Oh bury me not", his voice failed there
               Cm                 Eb
And we took no heed o' his dying prayer
            Cm                 Eb
In a narrow grave just six by three
                   Bb                  Eb
Well, we bury him there on the lone prairie

Verse 6:
                Cm                   Eb
And the cowboys now, as we roam the plain
                  Cm                        Eb
For we marked the spot where his bones were lain
                   Cm             Eb
Fling a handful o' roses o'er his grave
                 Bb                 Eb
And a prayer to God for his soul to save
