Home on the range

Interpret/autor: Brewster M. Higley 

    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. 
 
Chorus
