---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Storm Windows - John Prine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
F I can hear the wheels of the automobiles BbCFBbF So far away, just moving along through the drifting snow F It's times like these when the temperatures freeze BbCF I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window BbF And down on the beach the sandman sleeps BbF Time don't fly it bounds and leaps BbF And a country band that plays for keeps C They play it so slow
Chorus: FBbC Don't let your baby down FBbC Don't let your baby down FBbC Don't let your baby down
F Well the spirits were high til the well went dry BbCF For so long the raven at my window was only a crow F I bought the rights to the inside fights BbCF And watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window BbF While miles away o'er hills and streams BbF A candle burns, And witch's dreams BbF And silence is golden till it screams C Right through your bones
(Repeat Chorus)
CBbF Storm windows Gee but I'm getting old CGC Storm window keep away the cold
