_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] It must be a cold [F#] front coming _ [D#m] South, South, [C#] East, down, [B] C _ [F#]&O
_ [C#] The coal [F#] cars were dusted [G#m] with a half [D#] inch of snow
[C#]
And [B] _ _ _ _ _ that boy'll drive me crazy _ [D#m] Don't [C#] know what I'll [B] do with him
_ _ [D#m] _ [C#] _
School'll be [B] out tomorrow if that cold front [D#] comes [C#] in _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] Calling [F#] out to _ the [C#] dying _
[F#] daylight
And [C#] the shadows of the [F#] mountains _ [G#m] ringing [D#m] on the [C#] night _
[F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] And the old folks like to whisper, [B] _
[F#] _ [C#] he favors your [F#] side in his face
And when [C#] he gets a little [B] older he's gonna lead a [D#] merry [C#] chase
_ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ And I'm all alone, [C#] it's [F#] alright, _ it ain't gonna wound my [B] pride
If anyone can claim they're alright, so [D#m] can [C#] I
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] My _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ wrecked El Camino _ _ would [C#] have been _ [B] DWI _
[F#] So I just walked off and left it laying on [D#] its [C#] side
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] Troopers found it in the [B] morning, [F#] they said it's purely luck I wasn't killed
I _ probably ought to quit my [C#] drinking, but I don't believe [D#m] I [C#] will
[B] And _ _ _
_ [C#] [F#] I'm all alone, [B] it's alright, [F#] _ it ain't gonna wound my pride _ _
If anyone can claim they're [B] alright, [F#] so can [C#] I, _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] so can I
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _

_ _ [A#m] _ [C#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ He used to [B] ask about you, [F#] _ _ [C#] about a million [B] times a day
[F#] I _ [C#] got so tired of trying to answer, [B] just turned my head [C#] away _ _
[B] _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] Now he don't pay me much [F#] attention, _ _ _ he's not asking [B] anymore
_ [F#] _ I [C#] guess he'd [F#m] probably know you [D#m] if you walked back in the [C#] door _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#m] [C#] Calling out [F#] to _ [D#] the [F] empty night
[F#] _ _ _ Watching as the snow flakes [B] come dancing around [C#] the light
[F#] _
_ _ _ _ Dancing up against the [B] window, _ [F#] it's like they're peeking through the [B] glass
[F#] _ _ [C#] They hover for a [D#m] moment, then they fall on [F] past
_ [F#] _
_ _ _ [D#] _ [F] Calling out
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [D#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
