HOME ON THE RANGE 3/4 123 12

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day. CHORUS:

Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

How often at night when the heavens are bright with the light of the glittering stars

Have I stood there a-mazed and asked as I gazed if their glory ex-ceeds that of ours. CHORUS HARMONICA VERSE (PLAY CHORDS OF FIRST VERSE) CHORUS

Night Rider's Lament Intro: A G D (…must have gone crazy out there) D G D A One night while I was out ridin' the graveyard shift, midnight 'til dawn G A D Bm A G D The moon was bright as a readin' light for a letter from an old friend back home G A D G A D And he asked me,” Why do you ride for your money, tell me why do you rope for short pay G A D Bm A G You ain't gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share A G D Boy, you must have gone crazy out there.” D G D A He said last night I run onto Jenny, She's married and she has a good life. G A D Bm A G D Boy, you sure missed the track when you never came back. She’s the perfect professional’s wife G A D G A D And she asked me, “Why does he ride for his money, and tell me why does he rope for short pay G A D Bm A G He ain't gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share A G D Boy, he must've gone crazy out there.” G A D Bm G A D Ah, but they've never seen the Northern Lights, they've never seen a hawk on the wing G A D Bm A G They never spent Spring on the Great Divide, A G D And they've never heard ole' camp cookie sing. D G D A Well, I read up the last of my letter, and I tore off the stamp for black Jim. G A D Bm A G D And when Billy rode up to relieve me, he just looked at my letter and grinned G A D G A D He said, “Now why do they ride for their money. Tell me why do they rope for short pay G A D Bm A G They ain't gettin' nowhere and they're losin' their share A G D Boy, they must've gone crazy out there A G D Son, they all must be crazy out there.”

Mammas Don't Let your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys by: Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings A D Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold E7 A They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis D And each night begins a new day E7 And if you don't understand him and he don't die young A He'll probably just ride away Chorus: A D Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys E7 Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks A Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such D Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys E7 They'll never stay home and they're always alone A Even with someone they love A D Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings E7 A Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night Them that don't know him won't like him D And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him E7 He ain't wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him A Do things to make you think he's right Chorus

[Em] An old cowpoke went riding out one [G] dark and windy day [Em] Upon a ridge he rested as he [G] went along his [B7] way When [Em] all at once a mighty herd of red‐eyed cows he saw A'[C] plowin' through the ragged skies [Am/C]… and [Em]up a cloudy draw [Em] Yi‐pi‐yi‐[G] ay, Yi‐pi‐yi‐[Em] o [C] Ghost riders [Am/C] in the [Em] sky [Em] Their brands were still on fire and their [G] hooves were made of steel [Em] Their horns were black and shiny and their [G] hot breathe he could [B7] feel A [Em] bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky For he [C] saw the riders comin' hard [Am/C] and he [Em] heard their mournful cry [Em] Yi‐pi‐yi‐[G] ay, Yi‐pi‐yi‐[Em] o [C] Ghost riders [Am/C] in the [Em] sky [Em] Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and [G] shirts all soaked with sweat [Em] They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but [G] they ain't caught them [B7] yet They've [Em] got to ride forever in that range up in the sky On [C] horses snortin' fire, [Am/C] as they [Em] ride on, hear their cry [Em] Yi‐pi‐yi‐[G] ay, Yi‐pi‐yi‐[Em] o [C] Ghost riders [Am/C] in the [Em] sky [Em] As the riders loped on by him, he [G] heard one call his name [Em] "If you want to save your soul from hell a'[G]ridin' on our [B7] range" "Then [Em] cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride" "A‐[C] tryin' to catch the Devil's herd [Am/C] a[Em]cross these endless skies."

Della and the Dealer Hoyt Axton Intro: E7 A (…never said a mumblin' word) A D It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo. C F D A Left the city in a pick-up truck. Gonna make some dreams come true. D Well they rolled out west where the wild sun sets and the coyote bays at the moon. C F D A Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo. A Chorus: If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell E7 About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well A But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word. A D Down Tucson way there's an old café where they play a little cowboy tune. C F D A The guitar picker was a friend of mine by the name of Randy Boone. D Well Randy played her a sweet love song and Della got a fire in her eye. C F D A The Dealer had a gun and the dog had a knife and the cat had a shot of rye. CHORUS A D Well the Dealer was a killer; he was evil and mean and he was jealous of the fire in her eye. C F D A He snorted his coke through a century note and he swore that Boone would die. D Well the stage was set when the lights went out. There was death in Tucson town. C F D A Bodies ran for the bar back door, but one stayed on the ground. CHORUS A D Two bodies ran from the bar that night and a dog and a cat ran too. C F D A The tires got hot on the pickup truck, as down the road they flew. D It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo. C F D A Left Tucson in a pickup truck. Gonna make some dreams come true. CHORUS
