Far From Home

Neil Young

Tonart G
[C]When I was a [G]growing boy
A [C]rocking on my daddy’s [G]knee
[C]Daddy took an old gui[G]tar and [A7]sang
[C]Bury me on the lone prai[G]rie.

[C]Uncle Bob sat at the pia[G]no
My [C]girl cousins sang harmo[G]ny
[C]Those were the good old [G]family [A7]times
That [C]left a big [C]mark on [G]me.

Solo Chorus

[C]Bury me out on the [G]prairie
Where the [C]buffalo used to [G]roam
Where the [C]Canada geese once [G]filled the sky[A7]
[C]And then I won’t be far from [G]home.
[C]Bury me out on the [G]prairie
Where the [C]buffalo used to [G]roam
[C]You won’t have to shed a [G]tear for [A7]me
’[C]Cause then I won’t be [C]far from [G]home.

Solo chorus

[C]Walking down the trans-Canada high[G]way.
[C]I was talking to a fire[G]fly
[C]Trying to make my way to [G]Nashville, Tennes[A7]see
[C]When another car [C]passed me [G]by.

[C]Some day I’m gonna make big mon[G]ey
[C]And buy myself a big old [G]car.
[C]Make my way on down to that [G]promised [A7]land
[C]And then I’m [C]gonna really go [G]far.

Solo chorus

[C]Bury me out on the [G]prairie
Where the [C]buffalo used to [G]roam
Where the [C]Canada geese once [G]filled the [A7]sky
[C]And then I won’t be far from [G]home.
[C]Bury me out on the [G]prairie
Where the [C]buffalo used to [G]roam
[C]You won’t have to shed a [G]tear for [A7]me
’[C]Cause then I [C]won’t be [C]far from [G]home.
