[Opening]
[C]Oh, give me a home where the [F]buffalo roam
And the [C]deer and the antelope [G7]play
Where [C]seldom is heard a [F]discouraging word
And the [C]skies are not [G7]cloudy all [C]day
[chorus]
[C]Home, [G7]home on the [C]range
Where the [Am]deer and the [D7]antelope [G7]play
Where [C]seldom is heard a [F]discouraging word
And the [C]skies are not [G7]cloudy all [C]day
[verse 2]
How [C]often at night when the [F]heavens are bright
With the [C]light from the glittering [G7]stars
Have I [C]stood there amazed and [F]asked as I gazed
If their [C]glory ex[G7]ceeds that of [C]ours
[chorus]
[C]Home, [G7]home on the [C]range
Where the [Am]deer and the [D7]antelope [G7]play
Where [C]seldom is heard a [F]discouraging word
And the [C]skies are not [G7]cloudy all [C]day
[verse 3]
Where the [C]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
[chorus]
[C]Home, [G7]home on the [C]range
Where the [Am]deer and the [D7]antelope [G7]play
Where [C]seldom is heard a [F]discouraging word
And the [C]skies are not [G7]cloudy all [C]day
[Closing]
Oh, I [C]love those wild flowers in this [F]dear land of ours
The [C]curlew, I love to hear [G7]scream
And I [C]love the white rocks and the [F]antelope flocks
That [C]graze on the [G7]mountaintops [C]green
[chorus]
[C]Home, [G7]home on the [C]range
Where the [Am]deer and the [D7]antelope [G7]play
Where [C]seldom is heard a [F]discouraging word
And the [C]skies are not [G7]cloudy all [C]day
