Tabbed by AJ C. Idaho by Yonder Mountain String Band Key G Major This is the most requested song they do. Beautiful number about a western state "filled with fish" as dave likes to say. Quite simple and here it is: Intro riff: a|---0-2| E|-3----| into C D to > g|--------------------0-| d|--------------0h2p0---| (bluegrass lick is often used in the key of G) a|--------0h1h2---------| E|-0--2-3---------------| into G G C F C x3 D Verse:1

^GFrom Stanley up to Sunbeam ^Cfrom Clayton on to Chalice ^FHeading down the ^CSalmon river ^FTo a ^Crangeland palace ^FSage ^Cbrush all a^Dround

Verse 2:

^GWhere the deer and elk do roam ^CThis place I may call home ^FWhere the flatlands ^Cstretch for miles ^FAnd the mountains ^Ctouch the sky ^FAnd the ^Csun always ^Dshines

Chorus:

In Ida^Emho, ^Cohh ho ^Dohh x3 In Ida^Emho

(jam factory) Verse 3: My mind is filled with images Of saw-tooth bridges Where the snow melt forms Cold mountain creeks Flowin' through the valley down below Verse 4: I was standing 'neath the pine trees On a bed of wild grass This place has captured me, well far I can see There ain't no place I'd rather be. [Chorus] Finish with the Intro Riff and you're done
