[Verse 1]
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
The roof is leak - ing, and the wind is howl - ing,
Dm Dm7 Bb/D C/D *
The kids are cry - ing, 'cause the sheets are so cold,
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
Woke this morn - ing, found my hands were fro - zen,
[Dm] I've tried to fix [Dm7]the fire,
Bb/D C/D * Dm C/D Dm
But, you know, ...the damn thing's too old!
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
It's been months now, since we heard from our Mar -y,
Dm Dm7 Bb/D C/D *
I wonder if she ever made the coast,
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
Well, she, and her young man, they both moved out there,
Dm Dm7 Bb/D C/D * Dm *
But I sure hope they write, ...just to let us know!
[Verse 3]
Bb Gm F Dm7 * Cadd9
And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute,
Bb Gm F Dm7 * Cadd9
My wife's ex - pecting, but I hope she can wait,
Bb Gm F Dm7 * Cadd9
'Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be a - nother bad one,
[Bb] [Gm] [F] [Dm7] [Cadd9] [Cadd9]
But spring'll soon be here, ...oh - oh-------,
But I hope it's not l[Dm]ate----!

[Verse 4]
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them,
[Dm] They tried their hard - [Dm7]est to [Bb/D]make it a [C/D]home,
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
Seems so long now since they passed o - ver,
Dm Dm7 Bb/D C/D Dm *
'Hope my child - ren ...will try ...to make it their own!
[Verse 5]
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
Ma, my roof is leak - ing, and the wind is howl - ing,
Dm Dm7 Bb/D C/D *
The kids are cry - ing, 'cause the sheets are so cold,
Dm Dm7 Dm C/D Dm *
Woke this morn - ing, and my hands were fro - zen,
[Dm] Oh, I've tried to [Dm7]fix the fire,
Bb/D C/D * Dm
But, you know, ...the damn thing's too old!
[Verse 6]

But me, ...oh, I'm getting stronger by the minute,

'Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be a - nother bad one,
