Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 open strumming

it's getting cold outside and the leaves are falling down

the days are shorter now as the shadows have grown long

around this time of year the landscape starts to change

soon the snow will come and the drifts will fill the days

then you'll [ G ]have to find your winter coat

hat and gloves and scarf and boots

stay inside until the winter's gone

spring will come and be reborn

ah ah

ah ah

[ Am ]it's that time of year when the [ C ]green goes in the ground

[ Em ]blazing out in glory killing [ C ]time until the sound

[ Am ]of melting ice and snow and the [ C ]wind and rain and sun

[ Em ]that time is months away under [ C ]mother nature’s thumb

[ C ]now you'll [ G ]have to find your [ F ]winter coat

[ G ]hat and gloves your [ F ]scarf go up

[ C ]stay [ G ]inside all [ F ]winter long

[ G ]or find a river to [ F ]skate away on

ah ah

Chorus chords over solo

end with open strumming in Am

Notes: strum each chord once on the first line of the chorus. The G and F in the chorus

better (and make for easy sliding) if you play barre chords.
