G              D
Cold snow is a-blowin'
      C               D
And I cry for wanting you
D              C
Stranger in my waking hours
    G                  D
And sleep could hurry, too
             
Fasten up your boot strap, baby
C                  G
Pull your wool hat down


[Chorus]
        D   D6 D  D6   D
For the sky is shinin' white, my love
   D     G        D
To cover all the ground
        D   D6 D  D6   D
Oh, the sky is shinin' white, my love
   D     G       G
To cover all the ground


[Verse]
G                 D
Sing and write me letters
       C           D
From a song into a song
D                  C
Something warm for winter now
     G              D
With dreams to send along

Cold time is a-comin'
      C                  G
And I know you heard the sound


[Chorus]
        D   D6 D  D6   D
For the sky is shining white, my love
   D     G       D
To cover all the ground
        D   D6 D  D6   D
Oh, the sky is shining white, my love
   D     G       D
To cover all the ground


[Bridge]
G F# A D C G


[Verse]
G              D
Cold snow is a-blowin'
      C               D
And I cry for wanting you
D              C
Stranger in my waking hours
    G                  D
And sleep could hurry, too

Fasten up your boot strap, mama
C                  G
Pull your wool hat down


[Outro]
        D   D6 D  D6   D
For the sky is shining white, my love
   D     G       D
To cover all the ground
