Strum
D-DU-UDU
Searchin'  for the sunlight
On  this winter's day
 But here  in Old  Missoula
 They've thrown  the sun away
Come  tomorrow morning
 I'm headed  for the Bozeman Round
 And it's goodbye  to Old  Missoula,  sleepy  town
I  met a girl named Rosie
Sweet  as she could be
But  I guess  that Rosie
She  didn't have eyes for me
Time  waits for no one
Lord,  why did I hesitate?
 And it's goodbye  to Old  Missoula,  a day  too late
Clouds  hang on the mountain
They  make me lonesome inside
And  these four walls surround  me
Leaving  no place to hide
 Harmonica (last 3 lines of a verse)
Goodbye  Rosie you'll never know
Time  tells my love will pass
 But if I just remember  your smilin'  face
That's  all of time that I ask
Show  in this town is over
Maybe  just never began
 And it's goodbye  to Old  Missoula,  done  all that I can
 And it's goodbye  to Old  Missoula,  goodbye  to Old  Missoula
Goodbye  to Old  Missoula,  sleepy  town
