(E,F# bass notes)G                  
From Stanley up to Sunbeam

Headin’ down the Salmon River
F              C

Sagebrush all around

Where the deer and elk do roam
This place I may call home
Where the flatlands stretch for miles
And the mountains touch the sky
And the sun always shines

Chorus:
(G,F#,Em bass walk down)
         Em    C       D
   In Idaho, ohhhhhhhhhh
         Em    C       D

   In Idaho, ohhhhhhhhhh
         Em    C       D
   In Idaho

--Intro Riff--

My mind is filled with images
Of sawtoothed ridges
Where the snowmelt forms
Cold mountain creeks
Flowing through the valleys down below

I was standin’ ‘neath the pine trees
On a bed of wild grass
This place has captured me
Wildflowers I can see
There ain’t no place I’d rather be

Chorus:
   Than Idaho, ohhhhhhhhhh
   In Idaho, ohhhhhhhhhh
   In Idaho, ohhhhhhhhhh
   In Idaho

--Repeat Intro Riff--
