INTRO
VERSE 1
[Dm]The roof is leaking and the [C/D]wind is how[Dm]ling
[Dm]Kids are crying 'cos the [Bb]sheets are so [C]cold
[Dm]I woke this morning found my [C/D]hands were fro[Dm]zen
[Dm]I've tried to fix the fire, but you [Bb]know the [C]damn thing's too [Dm]old
VERSE 2
[Dm]It's been months now since we [C/D]heard from our Ma[Dm]ry,
[Dm]I wonder if she ever [Bb]made the [C]coast
[Dm]She and her young man, they [C/D]both moved out [Dm]there
[Dm]But I sure hope they write,[Bb] just to [C]let us [Dm]know
MIDDLE 8
And [Bb]me, I'[Gm]m getting [F]stronger by the [C]minute
[Bb]My wife's ex[Gm]pecting, but I [F]hope she can [C]wait
[Bb] 'Cos this [Gm]winter looks like it's [F]gonna be another [C]bad one
[Bb] But [Gm]spring'll soon be [F]here, oh [C]oh
[C]God I hope it's not [Dm]late
VERSE 3
[Dm]Ma and Pa lived here, and [C/D]theirs before [Dm]them
[Dm]Tried their hardest to [Bb]make it a [C]home
[Dm]Seems so long now since [C/D]they passed o[Dm]ver
[Dm]Hope my children'll try [Bb] to [C]make it their [Dm]own
