Key G Major

This is the most requested song they do. Beautiful number about a western 
state "filled with fish" as dave likes to say. Quite simple and here it is:

Intro riff:
a | ---0-2 | 
E | -3---- |  into C  D to >

g | --------------------0- | 
d | --------------0h2p0--- |  (bluegrass lick is often used in the key of G)
a | --------0h1h2--------- | 
E | -0--2-3--------------- |  into G

G5      C5
F5   C5 x3
D5

Verse:1
G5
From Stanley up to Sunbeam
C5
from Clayton on to Chalice
F5                C5
Heading down the Salmon river
F5    C5
To a rangeland palace
F5    C5          D5
Sage brush all around

Verse 2:
G5
Where the deer and elk do roam
C5
This place I may call home
F5                   C5
Where the flatlands stretch for miles
F5                 C5
And the mountains touch the sky
F5       C5          D5
And the sun always shines

Chorus:
      E5   C5      D5
In Idaho,  ohh ho ohh  x3
      E5
In Idaho

(jam factory)

Verse 3:
My mind is filled with images
Of saw-tooth bridges
Where the snow melt forms
Cold mountain creeks
Flowin' through the valley down below

Verse 4:
I was standing 'neath the pine trees
On a bed of wild grass
This place has captured me, well far I can see
There ain't no place I'd rather be.

[Chorus]

Finish with the Intro Riff and you're done
