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

They want a big pipeline right through Pop's grove

This is my prairie, this is my home

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

This is my prairie, this is my home
