D                   A             Bm            G
There's a full moon risin' in the prairie sky tonight 
D                              A
Lord it's good to be on my way home. 
D             A                 Bm                G
Over that horizon she keeps the home fires burin' bright 
          D          A            D
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home. 
 
CHORUS 
                Bm             G              D
Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above 
                   Bm            G
And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I Alove 
         D                A           Bm            G
It's the closest place to heaven this cowboy's ever known 
          D          A            D
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home. 
D                   A             Bm             G 
Travelin' round the country for a dozen years or more 
D                                A
Funny how your point of view can change 
D                   A            Bm                  G
I finally found the rainbow that I've been searchin' for 
            D       A               D
It's right above my home out on the range. 
 
CHORUS 
          D          A            D
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home.
