Chords for Wild Montana Skies- John Denver (With Lyrics!)+

[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ [D] _
He was born in the Bitterroot Valley
[G] In the early [D] morning rain
Wild geese over the water
Head north [A] and home again
Bringing a [D] warm wind from the south
[Gm] Bringing the first taste [D] of the spring
His mother took him to her breast
[E] Softly she [D] did sing _
[G] Oh, _ [A] Montana, [D] give this child a home
Give him [G] a love of a [A] good family
[D] And a woman of his own
Give him [G] a fire in his [A] heart
Give him [D] a light [G] in his eyes
Give him the [D] wild wind, poor brother
[A] And the wild [D] Montana sky
_ [G] His [A] _ [D] _ _
mother died that summer
[G] And he never learned to [D] cry
He never knew his father
And he never did ask [Em] why
[D] And he never knew the [G] answers
That would make [D] an easy way
But he learned to know the wilderness
And to [A] be a [D] man that way _
_ His mother's brother took him
Into [G] his [D] family and his home
Gave him a hand that he could lean on
And the strength to call [A] his own
And [D] he learned to be a farmer
And he [G] learned to [D] love the land
And he learned to read the seasons
And he [A] learned to [D] make a stand
[G] Oh, _ [A] Montana, [D] give this child a home
Give him [G] a love of a [A] good family
[D] And a woman of his own
Give him [G] a fire in [A] his heart
Give him [D] a light in [G] his eyes
Give him the [D] wild wind, poor brother
And the [A] wild [D] Montana sky
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _
On the eve of his 21st birthday
He [G] set [D] out on his own
He was 30 years and running
When he found his way back [A] home
[D] Riding a storm across the mountains
[G] And an aching in [D] his heart
So he came to turn the pages
And to [A] make a [D] brand new _ start
Now I never told the story
[G] The time he [D] was gone
Some say he was a lawyer
Some say he was [A] a John
There [D] was something in the city
[G] That he said he [D] couldn't breathe
There was something in the country
That he [A] said he [D] couldn't leave
[G] Oh, _ [A] Montana, [D] give this child a home
Give him [G] a love of a [A] good [D] family
And a woman of his own
[G] Give him a fire [A] in his heart
[D] Give him a light [G] in his eyes
[D] Give him the wild wind, poor brother
[A] And the wild Montana [D] _ _ _ [G] sky
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ Now [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
some say he was crazy
[G] Some are [D] glad he's gone
Some of us will miss him
We'll try to carry [A] on
[D] Giving a voice to the forest
[G] Giving a voice to [D] the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness
In the land that he lived on
_ [G] _ Oh, [A] Montana, [D] give this child a home
[G] Give him a love [A] of a good family
[D] And a woman of his own
Give [G] him a fire in [A] his heart
Give him [D] a [G] light in his eyes
Give him [D] the wild wind, poor brother
And [A] the wild [D] Montana sky
[G] Oh, _ [A] Montana, [D] give this child a home
Give him [G] a love of a [A] good family
[D] And a woman of his own
[G] Give him a fire [A] in his heart
[D] Give him a light [G] in his eyes
[D] Give him the wild wind, poor brother
[A] And the wild
