Montana
James Taylor ? 2015

Verse 1
                            C  -  2nd fret
D                             Em             A7
I'm not smart enough for this life I've been livin',
  G                       Em          A
A little bit slow for the pace of the dream.
     Bm                     G
It's not I'm ungrateful for all I've been given;
    Em            A      D
But nevertheless, just the same...

Verse 2
D                         Em          A7
I  wish to my soul, I was back in Mon-tana,
G                       Em          A
High on my mountain and deep in the snow.
Bm              G
Up in my cabin, over the valley,
Em        A             D
Under the blankets with you.

Chorus
Bm        G             A          D       A
O-------- O---- ver the ocean from here.  (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Bm        G             A              D        A
O-------- O---- ver the mountains from there.  (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)

Verse 3
D                   Em           A7
Who can imagine the scale of the forces
     G                              Em        A
That pushed this old mountain range up in the sky?
    Bm                G
Tec-tonic creation, e-rosion, mutation;
Em           A              D
Somethin' to pleasure God's eye.

Verse 4
D                        Em            A7
The world is a wonder of lightnin' and thunder,
    G                         Em            A
And green of the ground as we fall from the sky.
    Bm                     G
The old and new faces, the tribes and the races...
Em           A          D
Thousands of places to try.

Chorus
Bm        G             A          D       A
O-------- O---- ver the ocean from here.  (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Bm        G             A              D        A
O-------- O---- ver the mountains from there.  (Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)

Bridge
D            Em              A         Bm
One sits and waits while the other one wanders,
    G             Em          A
And squanders his time with a life on the road.
Bm                        G
Down from the mountain, a-cross the wide ocean,
    Bm                     A         D
The world is in motion and cannot be slowed.

Verse 5
D                          Em           A7
Enough for today... the de-mands of the moment,
    G                       Em         A
The thing on my mind is the work in my hand.
Bm                           G
Wood   for the woodstove and water for coffee,
Em               A           D
Somethin'  I can still under-stand.

Verse 6
D                        Em       A7
We got a few friends but not many neighbors,
    G                       Em          A
The trip into town takes us most of the day.
    Bm                       G
And after,"Hello", and "it's sure good to see you",
   Em                 A          D
It seems like there's nothin' to say.

Outro
Bm        G             A          D
