Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
He was (D major) born in the Bitterroot Valley
in the (G major) early morning (D major) rain
Wild geese over the water
heading north and home a (A major) gain
Bringing a warm (D major) wind from the south
Bringing the first (G major) taste of the (D major) spring
His mother took him to her breast
and (A major) softly she did (D major) sing
Chorus 1
Oh, (G major) oh Mon (A major) tana, (D major) give this child a home
Give him the love (G major) of a good (A major) family
and a (D major) woman of his own
Give him a (G major) fire in his heart, (A major)
give him a light (D major) in his (G major) eyes
Give him the wild (D major) wind for a brother
and the (A major) wild Montana (D major) skies
(G major) (A major) (D major)

Verse 2
His (D major) mother died that summer
and he (G major) never learned to cry (D major)
He never knew his father
and he never did ask (A major) why
And he (D major) never knew the answers
that would (G major) make an easy (D major) way
But he learned to know the wilderness
and to (A major) be a man that (D major) way
Verse 3
His (D major) mother's brother took him in
to his (G major) family and his home (D major)
Gave him a hand that he could lean on
and a strength to call his (A major) own
And he (D major) learned to be a farmer
and he (G major) learned to love the land (D major)
And he learned to read the seasons
and he learned (A major) to make a stand (D major)
Chorus 2
Oh, (G major) oh Mon (A major) tana, (D major) give this child a home
Give him the love (G major) of a good (A major) family
and a (D major) woman of his own
Give him a (G major) fire in his heart, (A major)
give him a light (D major) in his (G major) eyes
Give him the wild (D major) wind for a brother
and the (A major) wild Montana (D major) skies
(G major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 4
On the (D major) eve of his twenty-first birthday
he (G major) set out on his own (D major)
He was thirty years and running
when he found his way back (A major) home
Riding a (D major) storm across the mountains
and an ach (G major) ing in his (D major) heart
Said he came to turn the pages
and to make (A major) a brand new (D major) start
Verse 5
Now he (D major) never told a story
of the (G major) time that he was gone (D major)
Some say he was a lawyer,
some say he was a John (A major)
There was (D major) something in the city
that he (G major) said he couldn't breathe (D major)
And there was something in the country
that he said (A major) he couldn't leave (D major)
Chorus 3
Oh, (G major) oh Mon (A major) tana, (D major) give this child a home
Give him the love (G major) of a good (A major) family
and a (D major) woman of his own
Give him a (G major) fire in his heart, (A major)
give him a light (D major) in his (G major) eyes
Give him the wild (D major) wind for a brother
and the (A major) wild Montana

Verse 6
Now some (D major) say he was crazy,
(G major) some are glad he's gone (D major)
Some of us will miss him,
we'll try to carry (A major) on
Giving a voice (D major) to the forest,
giving a voice (G major) to the dawn (D major)
Giving a voice to the wilderness
and the land (A major) that he lived on (D major)
Chorus 4
Oh, (G major) oh Mon (A major) tana, (D major) give this child a home
Give him the love (G major) of a good (A major) family

give him a light (D major) in his eyes (G major)
Give him the wild (D major) wind for a brother
and the (A major) wild Montana (D major) skies
