My Idaho Home chords

[Bb]Momma and Daddy raised me with love and care
[F]They sacrificed, so I could have a better share
They [Bb]fed me and nursed me and sent me to school
Momma [F]taught me how to sing, Daddy lived the Golden [Bb]Rules

When I [Eb]think of the people [Bb]alone and afraid
[Eb]Abandoned in wild like a [Bb]fatherless child
I [Bb]think of my Momma and how she could sing
In harmo[F]ny with my Daddy, our laughter would [Bb]ring.

[CHORUS]
[Eb]Down the highway, [F]on the beaches
[Bb]Just as far as memory [Eb]reaches
[Bb]I still hear Daddy singin' his [F]old Army songs
[F]We'd laugh and count horses as we rode [Bb]along.
[F]We were young then, we were [Bb]together
[F]We could bear floods and fire and [Bb]bad weather
[Bb]And now that I'm older, grown up on my own
I [F]still love Momma and Daddy best in my Idaho [Bb]home.

[Bb]Momma grew up on the prairies of Kansas
[F]She was tender and sweet.
The [Bb]dust and tornadoes blew round her
But they [F]left her straight up on her [Bb]feet.
My [Bb]Daddy grew up on his own, more or less
His Momma died when he was just [F]eleven.

He had seven sisters to raise him.
But he dreamed of his Momma in [Bb]heaven.


His [Eb]Daddy drank whiskey and [Bb]had a sharp eye.
He [Eb]sold chicken medicine [Bb]farmers would buy.
[Bb]Together they hunted the fields and the farms
When his [F]daddy died, my Daddy rested in my Momma's [Bb]arms.

[CHORUS]
[Eb]Down the highway, [F]on the beaches
[Bb]Just as far as memory [Eb]reaches
[Bb]I still hear Daddy singin' his [F]old Army songs
[F]We'd laugh and count horses as we rode [Bb]along.
[F]We were young then, we were [Bb]together
[F]We could bear floods and fire and [Bb]bad weather
[Bb]And now that I'm older, grown up on my own
I [F]still love Momma and Daddy best in my Idaho [Bb]home.
[Bb]And now that I'm older, grown up on my own
I [F]still love my Mom and Daddy best in my Idaho [Bb]home.
