Could you sing a little for us, Chester?
Yeah, somebody wanted me to sing, what is that song?
[A] No, it's, [G] I still write your name in the snow.
And the reason I wrote that, I wrote it with Billy Ed Witter, by the way.
I used to go out and see him at Versailles [F] Apartments and we'd paddle around together and talk about this and that.
But anyway, we were walking one day and there was a snow on the ground.
And I said, you know, nobody's ever written a song about, you know, when we're in the country,
if we had to go pee, we'd go out on the porch.
We called it going out on the porch.
And I said, we should write a song like that.
So we went in this apartment there and wrote this thing.
It's called, I still write your name in the snow.
[C] [Em]
[G] [A]
[G] Do we have a band on this?
[E]
I'm almost sorry now, [C] I caught you messing [G] around.
Cause you picked up, you packed up your pickup,
[A] boogied out [D] of town.
[G] Well, darling, I'd like for [C] you to know that [G] I still [D] write your name [G] in the snow.
[C] When the snowflakes fall, I [G] think of you.
[A] I think of you and have to [D] settle down.
[G] Do you think of me when you're [C] feeling low
[G] and wish you could [D] write my name?
[G]
[Em]
[E] [G]
There's more.
I once had an aching, [C] you'd come [G] back again.
I see now that I was only [F#m] tinkling [D] in the wind.
[G] You've hurt me more than you will [C] ever know.
[G] And I still write [D] your name [G] in the snow.
[C] When the snowflakes fall, I [G] guess I see the [D] happy you and me that used [G] to be.
[C] I write your name so [G] beautifully, [Em]
[A] but it's hard to cross the eyes and dot [D] the T.
[G] Do you think of me when you're [C] feeling low and wish you could write my [F#m] name [G] in the snow?
[E]
Son of a gun, I'm [A] tired of living this [D] way, hotter, might eat [E] down.
[G]
