D5                   A5             B5            G5
There's a full moon risin' in the prairie sky tonight 
D5                              A5
Lord it's good to be on my way home. 
D5             A5                 B5                G5
Over that horizon she keeps the home fires burin' bright 
          D5          A5            D5
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home. 
 
CHORUS 
                B5             G5              D5
Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above 
                   B5            G5
And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I Alove 
         D5                A5           B5            G5
It's the closest place to heaven this cowboy's ever known 
          D5          A5            D5
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home. 
D5                   A5             B5             G5 
Travelin' round the country for a dozen years or more 
D5                                A5
Funny how your point of view can change 
D5                   A5            B5                  G5
I finally found the rainbow that I've been searchin' for 
            D5       A5               D5
It's right above my home out on the range. 
 
CHORUS 
          D5          A5            D5
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home.
