[G]
I've been [C] to Wild [G]
Montana
[C] I went there in [G] a storm
My [C] boots were [Bb] Texas [F] leather
My Levi's [C] wet and torn
I [G]
loved [C] it in [G] Montana
[C] [G]
[C] I loved it [G] in the storm
[C]
[G] I think I'm [C] gonna cross [Bb] that [F] river
I just might [C] be reborn
New York, New York, [Bb] winter 61
[F] Taking me [C] a city ride
[F] [C] Somebody tall [Bb] must have put out the lights
[F] Cause it got real [G] dark outside
[C] [G] And [C] I never saw the sun [Bb] till 71
But [F] I never gave up [C] the fight
[F] I [C] sure was glad when [Bb] I saw the dawn
[F] Somebody turned on the light
Somebody [C] turned on the [F] light
[C] [F]
[C] Women [Dm] whining, fast red cars
[Bb] While I couldn't [F] see to read [C] the signs
[F] [C]
Somebody said, [Bb] whose life is this
[F] And I said, it can't [G] be mine
[C]
[G] [C] And I never saw the sun [Bb] till 71
[F] But I never gave up [Gm] the [C] fight
[F] I [C] sure was glad [Bb] when I saw the dawn
[F]
Somebody turned on the light
Somebody turned [C] on the light
[F] [C] When [G]
[C] [G] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [F]
[C] the world is wrong, you [Bb] better right yourself
[F] It'll make the dark [C] clouds fly
[F]
[C] And nobody tall [Bb] can put out the light
[F] Just don't let the spirit [G]
die
[C] [G] And [C] if you never see the sun [Bb] till 91
[F] Don't you never give up [C] the fight
[F]
[C] Sure be glad [Bb] when you see the [F] dawn
Somebody turned on the light
[D] Somebody [C] turned on the [F] light
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
