John Denver – Wild Montana Skies chords
Chords:
INTRO: | G |C GHe was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rainDWild geese over the water, heading north and home againG C GBringin' a warm wind from the south, bringin' the first taste of the springD G His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing:C D G CHORUS: Oh, Montana, give this child a homeC D G Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his ownC D G C Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyesG D G Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skiesC GHis mother died that summer and he never learned to cryDHe never knew his father and he never did ask whyG C GHe never knew the answers that would make an easy wayD GBut he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that wayC GHis mother's brother took him in to his family and his homeDGave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his ownG C G And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the landD GAnd he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a standCHORUSG C GOn the eve of his 21st birthday, he set out on his ownDHe was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back homeG C GRidin' a storm across the mountains and an achin' in his heartD GSaid he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new startC GNow he never told the story of the time that he was goneDSome say he was a lawyer, some say he was a johnG C GThere was something in the city that he said he couldn't breatheD GThere was something in the country that he said he couldn't leaveCHORUSG C GNow some say he was crazy and some are glad he's goneDBut some of us will miss him and we'll try to carry onG C GGiving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawnD GGiving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived onCHORUS 2XTp
