Lyrics with chords

C Oh, give me a home where the F buffalo roam,

where the C deer and the antelope G7 play,

where C seldom is heard a disF couraging word

and the C skies are G7 not cloudy all C day.

G7 Home, C home on the F range,

where the C deer and the antelope G7 play;

where C seldom is heard a disF couraging word

and the C skies are G7 not cloudy all C day.

Where the air is so pure, the F zephyrs so free,

the C breezes so balmy and G7 light,

that I C would not exchange my F home on the range

for C all of the G7 cities so C bright.

How often at night when the F heavens are bright

with the C light from the glittering G7 stars,

have I C stood here amazed and F asked as I gazed

if their C glory exG7 ceeds that of C ours.
