[Verse]
G C G
There's a star that's shining bright on the Teton range tonight
G D
There's a lonesome fire shone out across the moon
G C G
There's a country song so sweet it reaches to the streets
G D
through the hoots and hollers of an old worn down saloon
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Yellowstone winds, well they're calling me back again
C D G
Come here to me my friend they whisper to my soul
G
Piney smoke in the frosty air
C
Cattle grazing all around you there
D G
Snow fields on the mountains there lie silent in the cold
[Verse]
G C G
I can feel the morning sun, see that old Snake River run
G D
And I remember all the legends and the tales
G C G
Old hobacks in my dreams as he wanders up his streams
G D
Stops to stand the mark beside the trail
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Yellowstone winds, well they're calling me back again
C D G
Come here to me my friend they whisper to my soul
G
Piney smoke in the frosty air
C
Cattle grazing all around you there
D G
Snow fields on the mountains there lie silent in the cold
[Verse]
G C G
There's a young coyote that calls from the steep high county walls
G D
As she ranges in the shadows in the trees
G C G
Her cunning and her care, prospecting in the air
G D
She searches for a scent upon the breeze
[Final Chorus]
