[Intro]
F Bb F
F Bb F
 
[Verse 1]
F                       Bb           F
Immigrants to Emigrant, dusty as the road
F                               Bb             F
Thankful as Wyoming's plains to find the Yellowstone
C                 F                Bb         F
Sit and watch her carve a slice of Paradise below
C             Bb           F
Making up the story as she goes
 
[Verse 2]
F                             Bb         F
Picture window picture frame, proscenium display
F                          Bb              F
Big sky, no wonder why the Crazy Mountains stay
C                  F                 Bb                  F
The osprey and the prairie dogs, they do their dance all day
C              Bb         F
Spirited, and spirited away
 
[Verse 3]
F                            Bb             F
I lay my line at suppertime, I throw my fly again
F                                   Bb                F
The mountain lets the river sip the snowmelt from its hands
C                F               Bb             F
Unlicensed and undisciplined and humbled in the end
C                   Bb               F
I left the fish for bears and better men
 
 
[Verse 4]
F                             Bb            F
Cherry pancakes, pecan pie, a table set for four
F                                 Bb           F
And company like paint pot steam, colorful and warm
C              F                 Bb                F
Fireworks they light the Fourth, level with our eyes
C        Bb              F
Wildfire country kind of skies
 
[Verse 5]
F                                    Bb                F
Fresh to full the moon's refilled to lead the night's parade
F                                   Bb                F
Far more stars than I have words or wishes I could make
C                               F                    Bb            F
There's church and then there's Chico Springs or the river down to Pray
C                  Bb            F
But me, I'm just a Teton man I'd say
 
[Verse 6]
F                        Bb               F
Emigrants from Emigrant, home and back to home
F                               Bb              F
With memories and all our needs packed up as we drove
C               F                   Bb              F
Thank you very, thank you much, and thank you awful so
C                 Bb             F
For Montana and a taste of Yellowstone
