A Long Way From Montana chords by Red Steagall

Guitar chords with lyrics

C      Em     F
A long way it is from Montana

C                        D7         G7
To west Texas whether by hoof or by rail

C      Em     F
A long way it is from Alzada

C                           G7         C
To innocence lost somewhere out on the trail



   Em       F
My heart is lonesome and longing

C                           D7            G7
My comrades are gone on the first morning train

C      Em            F
And my heart hears a boyhood hymn calling

C                                   G7         C
From a church down the valley comes this old refrain



C                   F        C
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling

Am          D7          G7
Calling for you and for me

C                       F           C
See on the portals He's waiting and watching

         F   C   G7      C
Watching for you and for me



    Em   F
Too many autumns I've watched 'em

C                               D7             G7
Board trains with their plunder all headed for home

C       Em   F
And too many autumns I've stayed here

C                              G7           C
To snap out the new ones 'fore winter comes on



      Em     F
And I wonder who's waiting for them

C                      D7              G7
A sweetheart a lover a young wife with babe

C     Em   F
But I know who's waiting for me

C                         G7                 C
A mother and father who's hair has turned to gray



     G7        C  Am
Come home come home

D7                    G7
Wanderin' cowboy come home

C                  F           C
Earnestly tenderly I hear them calling

Am     F    C    G7      C
My son it's time to come home



     Em       F
I've lingered long in this country

C                          D7              G7
From high thunder basin to where rim lands start

C        Em       F
And I've lingered too long a sinner

C                        G7            C
It's time that I pack up and follow my heart



       Em  F
A long way it is from Alzada

C                            D7         G7
To a little sod house on the west Texas plains

C      Em  F
A long way it is from Montana

C                         G7              C
But I'm going home on the next southbound train



       Em  F          C
