Out Of The Snow

INTRO:

VERSE:
     C        F        C
Go away, go away, you cold north wind
 C          G                   C
Blowin' my muffler 'round and 'round

 C          F      C             G           C
Your white powder blows coverin' up the icy ground

       C              F                 C
I'm a slippin' and a slidin' down this dead end stream
        C            G             C
Like a sheep who is lost from the fold

      C           F             C
I've been on the land and I've been on the sea
         C            G        C
I ain't never seen a night so cold

 C          F           C
Suddenly a face at the window
       C              G              C
Looks like someone I might a seen before

 C                F            C
Thought it musta been my imagination
      C           G              C
When suddenly she opened up the door


CHORUS:
        F      Bb         F
"And I never expected to see you again
 F           Bb          F
Must a been seven years ago

 F               Bb        F
Now that you're here, why don't you come in
       G                    C
Don't stand outside in the snow"

VERSE:
 C          F            C
She sat me down in that old rockin' chair
         C         G              C
And she threw on another lump of coal

 C              F                 C
Said "what's a southern boy like you, doin' here
           C              G        C
Where the winter gets so long and cold"

 C        F      C
"My history's a short one to tell
      C              G               C
I've been travelin' all these seven years

C               F             C
I followed the music and the money around
     C               G        C
And that's what I'm doin' up here"


INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE:
 C           F               C
She said "I came up with my husband
    C              G              C
He wanted to get away from Tennessee

 C            F                 C
He's up somewhere in the Rocky Mountains
        C           G                C
But it just got to cold up there for me


CHORUS:
       F       Bb        F
And I never expected to see you again
 F               Bb         F
Then again, you just never know

 F               Bb     F
You better stay here until the weather clears
               G                           C
It's just too cold to be out there in the snow"
