Forty Winters Rodney Crowell
[F#]Forty [B]winters [F#]cold and [B]dark sur[F#]round you [C#]like a [B]beauty [F#]mark
A [B]tilt of the [F#]axis says [B]that time of [F#]year
And the [B]flush of your [F#]cheekbones says [B]no damage [F#]here
The [B]first time I [F#]saw you twas i[B]ce on the [F#]ground
A [B]girl in a [F#]green house meant [B]paradise [F#]found
[B]For [F#]Forty [B]Winters[F#], [B] [F#]forty [B]Winters[F#] [B]
[F#]Forty [B]winters[F#], [B] [F#]forty [B]winters[F#] [B]
Forty winters straight in line were you not my valentine
Orange Blossomā??s Sandalwood Oak Moss and Musk
Fragrant the senses from daylight till dusk
You made the simple life fit for a king
And oatmeal by candle light a beautiful thing
For Forty Winters, forty Winters
Forty winters, forty winters
[B]Why canā??t I break the spel[Bbm]l shake you and make you well
[Ebm]What is it blinding me that [F#]keeps you from finding me
[B]I know youā??re in there, yo[Bbm]u havenā??t gone somewhere
[Ebm]God only knows about [F#]leaving me frozen out
[Abm]Darlinā?? I can promise you this I wont let you drown in the mist
Forty winters cold and drear could not age you one short year
Itā??s like your trapped ā??neath a bell jar as big as the earth
And Iā??m running to reach you for all that Iā??m worth
Iā??ll bathe you and feed you and tend to your grace
But donā??t make me leave you in such a dark place
Iā??m drunk on the bitterness sorrow demands
And I know that tomorrow is out of my hands
Until were together Iā??ll sleep in the snow
Iā??ll love you forever and thatā??s all I know about
Forty Winters, forty Winters
Forty winters, forty winters
