Lyrics

THAT GIRL, MONTANA, AND I



Ddim Dm7 G7 CMaj7
Shape up or ship out, cowboy, left me wandernâ?? aimlessly.

Ddim Dm7 G7 CMaj7 C7
From the last best place this country boy should be.

F G7 CMaj7 Am Dm7 G7 C
I got out in a whirl, but that girl and Montana never got out of me


Ddim Dm7 G7 CMaj7
Iâ??ve learned my lesson, now, was blind but now I see.

Ddim Dm7 G7 CMaj7 C7
The many times she tried to tell me tearfully.

F G7 CMaj7 Am Dm7 G7 C
I gave ramblinâ?? a whirl, but that girl and Montana never got out of me.



Gm9 Ddim Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 C7
Lord, please show me the way back again, under your own Big Sky.

F G7 C Am Dm7 G7 C
Bring back those dreams that might have been of that girl, Montana, & I.





Ddim Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
Back in Missoula now, and I still have her key.

Ddim Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 C7
Through her doorway, whatâ??s the verdict gonna be?

F G7 Cmaj7 Am Dm7 G7 C
Cause I fell out with that girl, but that girl and Montana never got out of me.


Ddim Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
Her pretty face look shocked, I said Iâ??d better go.

Ddim Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
She reached out to me and said, Hon, I love you so.

F G7 Cmaj7 Am Dm7 G7 C
da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da..da da da ...............................



Gm9 Ddim Dm7
My chance of a lifetime was that second chance,

G7 Cmaj7 C7
where loveâ??s well never shall run dry.

F G7 C Am Dm7 G7 C
And a river runs through it and into the hearts of that girl, Montana, and I.

F G7 C Am Dm7 G7 C
And a river runs through it and into the hearts of that girl, Montana, and I.
