1.    Oh, give me a home

          C

Where the buffalo roam,

          G            A7       D7

Where the deer and the antelope play,

      G

Where seldom is heard

     C         Cmi

A discouraging word,

        G             D7         G

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Rf.   Home, home on the range

          C            A7       D    D7

Where the deer and the antelope play,

      G

Where seldom is heard

     C         Cmi

A discouraging word,

        A7             D7        G

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

2.    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.

3.    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.

4.    How often at night

When the heavens are bright

With the light from the glittering stars,

I have stood there amazed

And asked as I gazed

If their glory exceeds that of ours.

5.    Oh, I love those wild flowers

In this dear land of ours,

The curlew I love to hear scream,

And I love those white rocks

And the antelope flocks

That graze on the mountain tops green.
