1.
C     G7            C
Up before the sunrise
         F         G7          C
Its a rocky road back home
      F             G7           C
The dust won't be near settled
                                 G7                           
As where we just come from
   C               G7            C
I'll keep my promise to you
  F             G7        C
Just like I said I would
        F           G7             C
And lay you neath the pe-can trees
                         G7           C
And hang your spurs for good

chorus:
         Am            F
Say goodbye to Montana.........
                G7          C         F            C     G7
Where the northers always blow......o.......o
  C                     F            C
The paint brush will be blummin
 C                    G7          C
By the time I get you home

C                 G7             C
We drove a herd from texas
        F            G7     C
To the big montana sky
   F            G7               C
I swear sometimes I wondered
                            G7
If we make it here alive
   C           G7             C
I wish i could of told you
     F                G7          C
That you were my best friend
   F                G7              C
I guess you always knew that
                             G7            C
But we were both to tough to bend


Chorus: same as above

     F         G7       C
All honor to the cowboy
          G7        C          F
Your praises they will sing
                                          C
Cause you never sold your saddle
                               G7           C
And thats the most important thing

Final chorus:
 Am              F
Ad...ios ... montana........ 
                  G7          C         F         C    G7
Where the northers always blow.....o......o
    C                   F          C   
The paint brush will be blummin
                      G7        C
By the time I get you home
