It's getting far too cold in winter Daphne
Em G Cmaj7
The summers sun it only goes so n far
D Em7 Cmaj7
I've lost a lot of women to the distance
D Em7 Cmaj7
But I've lost too many brothers to the war
Em G Cmaj7
And there's gold in the mountain oh dear daphne
Em G Cmaj7
there's diamonds in the river sure as stars
D Em7 Cmaj7
But there's Boulder on my chest that stops me moving
D Em7 Cmaj7
And the water slowly carves a hundred scars
Em G Cmaj7
So I raise my eyes and gaze upon the heavens
Em G Cmaj7
But I've never quite felt eyes gaze back at me
D Em7 Cmaj7
I never really broke the chains we're born with
D Em7 Cmaj7
That set so many simpler men so free
Em G Cmaj7
And now lightning arcs the sky oh Daphne
Em G Cmaj7
And thunder throws a hail of sparks at me
D Em7 Cmaj7
As the rain and wind wrap it arms so tightly
D Em7 Cmaj7
I marvel at how strong the storm can be
Em G Cmaj7
But there's gold in these mountains oh dear daphne
Em G Cmaj7
So I'll take a pick and lantern up with me
D Em7 Cmaj7
And ill dig and dig and dig until I find it
D Em7 Cmaj7
I'll reach the golden seam eventually
