F#BF#BF#C#BF# Forty winters cold and dark surround you like a beauty mark BF#BF# A tilt of the axis says that time of year BF#BF# And the flush of your cheekbones says no damage here BF#BF# The first time I saw you twas ice on the ground BF#BF# A girl in a green house meant paradise found BF#BF#BF#BF#B For Forty Winters, forty Winters F#BF#BF#BF#B Forty winters, forty winters
Forty winters straight in line were you not my valentine Orange Blossom’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
BBbm Why can’t I break the spell shake you and make you well D#mF# What is it blinding me that keeps you from finding me BBbm I know you’re in there, you haven’t gone somewhere D#mF# God only knows about leaving me frozen out G#m Darlin’ 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 It’s like your trapped ‘neath a bell jar as big as the earth And I’m running to reach you for all that I’m worth I’ll bathe you and feed you and tend to your grace But don’t make me leave you in such a dark place
I’m drunk on the bitterness sorrow demands And I know that tomorrow is out of my hands Until were together I’ll sleep in the snow I’ll love you forever and that’s all I know about Forty Winters, forty Winters Forty winters, forty winters
