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

[F]Sage [C]brush all a[D]round
Verse 2:
[G]Where the deer and elk do roam
[C]This place I may call home

(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
