[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ Been to Wild Montana
_ [C] Went _ [G] _ [C] _
[G] there in a storm
[C] My [G] [C] boots wore [Gm] Texas [F] leather Mm-hmm
My Levi's [C] wet with thong
_ _ _ [G] Loved [C] it in [G]
Montana
[C] _ [G] Yes, _ [C] I loved it in the [G] thong
I've [C] _ [G] been going across [Bb] that [F] river Mm-hmm
I just might be [C] reborn _ _
York, New York, [Bb] winter 61
[F] Taking me a [C] city ride
_ _ Somebody [Bb] told me to put out the [F] lights
Cause it got real [G] dark outside
And [C] I never saw the [Bb] sun till 71
[F] But I never gave [C] up the fight _ _
Sure was [Dm] glad when I saw the [F] dawn
Somebody, somebody turned on the light
Somebody [G] turned on [C] the light _ _ _
_ _ Women whining, [Dm] fast red cars
And [Bb] I couldn't [F] see to read [C] the signs
_ _ Somebody said, [Bb] whose life is this?
[F] And I said that it can't [G] be mine
And [C] I never saw the sun [Bb] till 71
But [F] I never [C] gave up the fight _ _
Sure was [Dm] glad when I [E] saw the [F] dawn
Somebody, somebody turned on the light
Somebody [C] turned on the light
_ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ [G] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] When the world is [Bb] wrong, better act [F] yourself
It'll make the [C] dark clouds fly
_ Nobody [Bb] talk and put out the [F] light
Just don't let the [G] spirit die
If [C] you never see the [Bb] sun till 91
[F] Don't you never give [C] up the fight
_ Sure be glad [Dm] when you see [Em] the [F] dawn
Somebody, somebody turned on the light
Somebody [C] turned on the light
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
