This is the most requested song they do. Beautiful number about a western

Verse:1
G
From Stanley up to Sunbeam
C
from Clayton on to Chalice
F C
Heading down the Salmon river
F C
To a rangeland palace
F C D
Sage brush all around
Verse 2:
G
Where the deer and elk do roam
C
This place I may call home
F C
Where the flatlands stretch for miles
F C
And the mountains touch the sky
F C D
And the sun always shines
Chorus:
Em C D
In Idaho, ohh ho ohh x3
Em
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
