Intro:   Am   G   C


Am                    G     C
Just come down from a high fever,
                       G6    G
from out there in the yard
          Bm               D            G         C
While the pyre is burning, it's hard to feel the weather shift
       Em           Bm
or the fear of the dark
Em    Am
Ahhh


Chorus:

C                     G     Am
This year we need a deeper frost
           G         C
Me and my meadowlark
           G         Am
Under the winter's fears
                G         C
Out where the tree line starts
              G     B
Down on the north slope
E             F
Down to the creek
Em               C
Hold tight til spring


Interlude: C  G  C   Bm  D   G   C   Em   D


                    G      C
On and on goes the long winter
                       G6   G
My eyes now fixed to the stars
            Bm                 D        G                 C
We've been there before and I'm fairly sure we'll find a clearing
         Em           Bm
in the forest of our hearts
Em     Am
Ahhh


[Chorus]
C                     G     Am
This year we need a deeper frost
           G         C
Me and my meadowlark
           G         Am
Under the winter's fears
                G         C
Out where the tree line starts
              G     B
Down on the north slope
E             F
Down to the creek
Em               C
Hold tight til spring



     C            G         Am
But you know I'm not an activist,
             G      C
not in the purest sense
 G          Am
I'm not a pacifist
              G        C
I know which rules to bend
          D       Em
I just reveal my name
     F      Em
and show my love
              D      D   G   C
out in the hallows   Oooooooooh



[Chorus]
C                     G     Am
This year we need a deeper frost
           G         C
Me and my meadowlark
           G         Am
Under the winter's fears
                G         C
Out where the tree line starts
              G     B
Down on the north slope
E             F
Down to the creek
Em               C
Hold tight til spring
