I've [G]been to [C]wild Mon[G]tana, I [C]went there in a [G]storm
My boots were [C]Texas [Bb]leather, [F]mm, My Levis wet and [C]torn
<:vspace>
I [G]loved it [C]in Mon[G]tana, I [G]loved it in the [C]storm
I [G]think I'm gonna [C]cross that [Bb]river, [F]mm, I just might be [C]reborn
<:vspace>
<:vspace>
[C]New York, New York, winter, [Bb]sixty-one, [F]taking me a city ride [C F C]
Somebody tall must of [Bb]put out the light, cause it [F]got real dark out[G]side [C]
<:vspace>
{ci:Chorus}
{soc}
[G]And I [C]never saw the sun until [Bb]seventy-one
But I [C]never gave [F]up the [C]fight [F C]
And I sure was glad when I [Bb]saw the dawn
And [F]somebody turned on the light
[tacet]Somebody turned on the [C]light[F C F C]
{eoc}
<:vspace>
Women, wine, and [Dm]fast red cars, well, I [F]couldn't see to read the [C]signs [F]
[C]Somebody said, "Whose [Bb]life is this?" I [F]said that it can't be [G]mine [C G]

When the [C]world is wrong, you'd better [Bb]right yourself, it'll [F]make the dark clouds [C]fly[F]
[C]Nobody tall can [Bb]put out the light, Just [F]don't let the spirit [G]die[C]
<:vspace>
{soc}
[G]If you [C]never see the sun till [Bb]ninety-one,
Don't-cha [C]never give up the [C]fight[F]
[C]Sure be glad when you [Bb]see the dawn,
And [F]somebody turns on the light
Somebody turns on the [C]light[F C F C]
