C G
He was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rain
D
Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again
G C G
Bringin' a warm wind from the south, bringin' the first taste of the spring
D G
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing:
C D G
CHORUS: Oh, Montana, give this child a home
C D G
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
C D G C
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
G D G
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
C G
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
D
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
G C G
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
D G
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
C G
His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home
D
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
G C G
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
D G
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
G C G
On the eve of his 21st birthday, he set out on his own
D
He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home
G C G
Ridin' a storm across the mountains and an achin' in his heart
D G
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
