Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Home's in Montana
I remember there being a refrain to this song. But I couldn't find it any where so I wrote one. If you play you can get the gist of it.
MY HOME'S IN MONTANA Traditional Cowboy tune G
G C
My home's in Montana, I wear a bandana,
G D C D7 G
Spurs of silver, my pony is bay.
G C
While riding the ranges my luck never changes,
G D7 G
Foot in my stirrups I gallop away.
G C
When valleys are dusty my pony is trusty,
G D C D7 G
Lopes through the blizzards, snow in his ears.
G C
The cattle may scatter but what does it matter
G D7 G
My rope's a halter for pig-headed steers.
G C
When far from the ranches I cut the pine branches
G C D7 G
Lay out a bed as daylight grows pale.
G C
When I have partaken of beans and of bacon
G D G
I whistle a old, merry song on the trail.
>>>>
chorus:
C
I learned how to lasso
G
Way down in El Paso
C
I follow the cattle
G
Where ever they roam.
C
Yeah, I ride the ranges
G
But my luck never changes
C Am D
But still Montana's my home.
C
My skin's rough as leather,
G
Made tough by the weather;
C
Rain, sleet and snow
G
Where ever I roam.
C
The wind up and bites me
G
And my gal she still writes
C Am D
And tells me Montana's my home.
