Goodbye to Old Missoula by Willis Alan Ramsey
(capo up 2 frets to match CD and LP. Remember what an LP is? Cool.)
Searchin' for the sunlight
On this winter's day
But here in Old Missoula
They've thrown the sun away
Come tomorrow morning
I'm headed for the Bozeman Round
And it's goodbye to Old Missoula, sleepy town
I met a girl named Rosie
Sweet as she could be
But I guess that Rosie
She didn't have eyes for me
Time waits for no one
Lord, why did I hesitate?
And it's goodbye to Old Missoula, a day too late
Refrain:
Clouds hang on the mountain
They make me lonesome inside
And these four walls surround me
Leaving no place to hide
Harmonica (last 3 lines of a verse)
Goodbye Rosie you'll never know
Time tells my love will pass
But if I just remember your smilin' face
That's all of time that I ask
Show in this town is over
Maybe just never began
And it's goodbye to Old Missoula, done all that I can
And it's goodbye to Old Missoula, goodbye to Old Missoula
Goodbye to Old Missoula, sleepy town
