Verse 1:

   C          C7             F           Fm6
Oh  give me a home where the buffalo roam
          C            D7      Dm7  G7
Where the deer and the antelope play
      C          C7           F          Fm6
Where  seldom is  heard a dis- couraging word
        C              G7          C   G7G9G7
And the  skies are not  cloudy all day.

Chorus:

C     G7           C
 Home  home on the range
          Am7           D7        Dm7  G7
Where the  deer and the  antelope  play
      C          C7           F          Fm6
Where  seldom is  heard a dis- couraging word
        C              G7          C
And the  skies are not  cloudy all  day.

Verse 2:

   C          C7             F                  Fm6
Oh  give me a land where the bright diamond sand
     C          D7          Dm7     G7
Flows leisurely down to the  stream
      C                   C7         F        Fm6
Where  the graceful white  swan goes  gliding along
       C          G7        C       G7G9G7
Like a  maid in a  heavenly  dream.

Chorus Repeat:

Verse 3:

    C         C7              F                  Fm6
How  often at  night when the  heavens are bright
         C               D7          Dm7   G7
With the  light from the  glittering stars
       C            C7          F           Fm6
Have I  stood there  amazed and  asked as I gazed
         C      G7               C    G7G9G7
If their  glory  exceeds that of ours

Chorus Repeat:

Verse 4:

     C             C7         F                Fm6
So I  would not ex  change my home on the range
          C             D7        Dm7   G7
Where the  deer and the  antelope  play
      C          C7       F             Fm6
Where  seldom is  heard a  discouraging word
        C              G7          C
And the  skies are not  cloudy all  day.

Verse 5:

Oh, I love these wild flowers in this dear land of ours;
The curlew I love to hear scream;
And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks
That graze on the mountain-tops green.

Chorus Repeat:

Verse 6:

The red man was pressed from this part of the West,
He's likely no more to return
To the banks of Red River where seldom if ever
Their flickering campfires burn.

Chorus Repeat

Verse 7:

Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free,
The breezes so balmy and light,
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all the cities so bright.
