Biography:
Wilf Carter (born December 18, 1904 in Port Hilford, Nova Scotia, Canada, died December 5, 1996 in Scottsdale, Arizona), also known as Montana Slim, was a Canadian country music singer and yodeler.
In 1923, Carter moved west to Calgary, Alberta, where he found work as a cowboy and made extra money singing and playing his guitar. It was during this time that he developed his own yodeling style, sometimes called an "echo yodel" or a "three-in-one".

Most download versions of this song that I've heard are slightly sped up from the
format, so your guitar may sound out of tune while playing along... I'd say its about a 1/16th
higher than it should be.
INTRO: D A D
VERSE 1
D G D
I'll be thinking of you pal at sunset time
G D
Thinking of the happy days gone by
A D
There beneath those dear old western skies
E A-G-F#/D-E-D
And I'll tell you just the reason why,
CHORUS
D G D
There's a love knot in my lariat,
A D
And it's waiting for a blue eyed gal you bet,
G
While I'm riding the range all day
D E A-G-F#/D-E-D
My old lasso seems to say, it twines around an ornery stray,
D G D
There's a love knot in my lariat
A D
And it's waiting for my little prairie pet
G D
When I swing me old lasso you hear me ‘yodelayheehoo’
D A D
There's a love knot in my lariat.
VERSE 2
D G D
I’ll be thinking of you pal at roundup time
G D
when I’m riding cross the great divide
A D
every time I swing my lariat
E A-G-F#/D-E-D
takes me back to someone I just cant forget.
CHORUS
