Introdução: DGADDGD
He was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rain
DA
Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again
DGD
Bringin' a warm wind from the south, bringin' the first taste of the spring
AD
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing
Refrão:
GADD7
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
GADD7
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
GADG
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
DAD
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
DGADDGD
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
DA
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
DGD
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
AD
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
GD
His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home
A
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call hiS (A)own
DGD
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
AD
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
Refrão...
DGADDGD
On the eve of his 21st birthday, he set out on his own
DA
He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home
DGD
Ridin' a storm across the mountains and in achin' in his heart
AD
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
GD
Now he never told the story of the time that he was gone
A
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john
DGD
There was something in the city that he said he couldn't breathe
AD
There was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave
Refrão..
DGADDGD
Now some say he was crazy and some are glad he's gone
DA
But some of us will miss him and we'll try to carry on
DGD
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
AD
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
