This Is My Prairie

Standard tuning

Capo on 2nd fret

Corb Lund plays his chords "campfire style", so for a C chord

play C/G by fretting the low E string on the 3rd fret and for

F (and similar shaped barre chords) don't play the low E string

and only barre the two highest strings with the index finger.

(Notes in brackets ... only play bass note)

On the Am at the end of the third line in each verse, hammer on

the 2nd fret of the D string to play it like Corb does

This is my prairie, this is my home

Well I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone

They can drill and they can mine o'er my smoldering bones

This is my prairie, this is my home

The water is poison, my calves are all dead

My children're sick, and the aquifer's bled

They want a big pipeline right through Pop's grove

This is my prairie, this is my home

I can't blame the riggers or the boys drivin truck

For feedin their families or makin a buck

But take a close look at the stock that you own

Cause this is my prairie, this is my home

I don't got the money that lawyers can buy

I don't got my own government's laws on my side

But I got this old rifle that my granddaddy owned

This is my prairie, this is my home

Bb A Ab G (barre chords)

This is my prairie, this is my home

Well I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone

They can drill and they can mine o'er my moldering bones

This is my prairie, this is my home
