C                     F      C
In old St. Louis over in Missouri
     F           C          Bb   
The Mighty Mississippi it rolls 
     G
and flows
           C      F    C
A son was born to Mary Russell
         F        C          
And it starts the legend every 
  G      C
cowboy knows

Young kid Russell he was born to

wander
F     C                Bb       G
Ever westward he was bound to roam

Just a kid of sixteen in 1880
        F     C         G         C
Up in wild Montana he found his home

C           Am            C
God made Montana for the wild man
         Am         Am7        Dm
For the Peigon and Sioux and Crow
But He saved his greatest gift for

[Verse 3]
C                        F      C
God hung the stars over Judith Basin
     F      C               Bb   
God put the magic in young 
     G
Charlie's hand
          C      F    C
All was seen and all remembered
       F        C          
Every shining mountain every

longhorn brand

[Verse 4]
C                         
He could paint the light on 
    F        C
horsehide shining
       F        C           Bb   G
Great passing herds of the buffalo
                C        F  
And a cowcamp cold on a rainy 
   C
morning
        F          C        
And the twisting wrist of the 
   G         C
Houlihan throw

God made Montana for the wild man

[Verse 5]
C                                 
When the Lord called Charlie to 
   F          C
His home up yonder
     F      C                Bb  
He said Kid Russell I got a job 
    G
for you
                     C          F 
You're in charge of sunsets in old
    C
 Montana
      F        C                  
Cause I can't paint them quite as 
  G      C
good as you
 F                C              
And when you're done---we'll go 
G              C
out and have a few
 F            C              G   
And Nancy Russell will make sure 
           C
