A                               D               A
Like a lion in the winter I can hear the summer call
                                     E7
Like a ship out on the ocean made of stone
        A                             D                A
And sometimes when I get lonely I can swear I hear you call
                                E7            D
Oh the nights are cold when you don't keep me warm

[Chorus]
A                D               A
And when I first saw you I first loved you
                   E7    D                   A
With a song that I sang  to the fire in your eyes
             D                            A
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy
                     E7   D                A
And you carried that lie  for the devil to sing

[Verse 2]
 A                                         D                A
Some sail rivers deep and muddy some sail rivers clear and cold
                                       E7
But the river that I'm sailing goes to sea
        A                      D                A
And sometimes I do grow weary sometimes I feel old
                       D7              D
And sometimes I wonder if you think of me

[Chorus]
A                D               A
And when I first saw you I first loved you
                   E7    D                   A
With a song that I sang  to the fire in your eyes
             D                            A
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy
                     E7   D                A
And you carried that lie  for the devil to sing

[Instrumental]
A   E7   D    A

[Verse 3]
A                               D               A
Like a lion in the winter, I can hear the summer call
                                     E7
Like a ship out on the ocean made of stone
        A                             D                A
And sometimes when I get lonely I can swear I hear you call
                                E7            D
Oh the nights are cold when you don't keep me warm

[Chorus]
A                D               A
And when I first saw you I first loved you
                   E7    D                   A
With a song that I sang  to the fire in your eyes
             D                            A
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy
                     E7   D                A
And you carried that lie  for the devil to sing.
