Bb, C, Dm...
VERSE 1
Dm C/D Dm
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
Dm Bb C
Kids are crying 'cos the sheets are so cold
Dm C/D Dm
I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
Dm Bb C Dm
I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old
VERSE 2
Dm C/D Dm
It's been months now since we heard from our Mary,
Dm Bb C
I wonder if she ever made the coast
Dm C/D Dm
She and her young man, they both moved out there
Dm Bb C Dm
But I sure hope they write, just to let us know
MIDDLE 8
Bb Gm F Dm C
And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
Bb Gm F Dm C
My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
Bb Gm F Dm C
'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
Bb Gm F Dm Cadd2
But spring'll soon be here, oh oh
Dm
God I hope it's not late

Dm C/D Dm
Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them
Dm Bb C
Tried their hardest to make it a home
Dm C/D Dm
Seems so long now since they passed over

Hope my children'll try to make it their own
