[Intro]
G C
I woke up this morning, it was 40 below
G D
The snow was piled up past my door
G C
That wouldn't be so bad, but I live on the second floor
G D G
But I like it here
G C
Had two pairs of long-johns under four pairs of pants
G D
Three ski sweaters, and a hat to match
G C
Two pairs of gloves and a fur-lined vest
G D
Then I got out of bed, and I started to get dressed
G D G
But I like it here
G C
It was snowing so hard when I walked downtown
G D
You could shovel that stuff, upside down
G C
Folks tell me it will be like this until winter comes around
G D G
But I like it here
[Verses]
Am
It was early morn' like so many before
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
I put on my coat and walked out of the door
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
I went to the place where my beast lay asleep
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
On four tires of rubber a long cord in its teeth
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
I opened the door and I jammed in the key
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
Not a sound did I hear, nor exhaust did I see
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
So I went to my neighbor and to him I spoke
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
He soon come a ' riding on white clouds of smoke
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
We went to my beast and pried open its jaw
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
But black, icy darkness is all that we saw
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
On it's terminals bare, long cables I placed
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
And I gave it a charge with revenge of my face
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
The smell of the ether ether did hand in the air
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
And empty "Heet" cans lay about everywhere
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
And when we were moving its anger was gone
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
From its radio voice, came music and song
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
Am
But tonight when the dark comes to its moving parts
C Am
Oh cold and misery
Am C G Am
It will again be the beast with the ice in its heart
G Am
Standing alone on the frozen ground
