C D G
I been down by the railroad tracks.
C D
They don’t do me no good.
C D G
I thought maybe I could relax
C
in a different neighbourhood.
C D G
I stayed up this frozen night
C D
While the images play.
C D G
I’m haunted by the terrible sight
C
of you walking away
(Chorus)
Am G C
An when the cold wind howls
Am G C
The inches feel like miles
C G
And I’m anxiously expecting spring
Am Em
But winter keeps continuing,
F C D G
Waiting is the rose- spring is late this year.
(Violin)
C D G
I went to sleep in one place and
C D
I woke up someplace else.
C D G
The snow was all melting and
C
I loved the summer smells.
C D G
You were still with me and
C D
you never once got mad.
C D G
It all must have been a dream-
C
I wanted it so bad.
(Chorus)
Am G C
And now the leaves won’t come
Am G C
Under this cold weak sun.
C G
And I’m anxiously expecting spring
Am Em
But winter keeps continuing,
F C D G
Waiting is the rose- spring is late this year.
C G
It’s so cold and it will not give up,
Am Em
I could use a change of luck.
F C D G
You’re gone I suppose-spring is late this year.
(Violin)
(Chorus)
Am G C
But then I start to see
Am G C
The seasons are all in me.
C G
I got to keep remembering
Am Em
The robins bring it on their wings
F C D G
To the waiting rose- spring is late this year.
C G
It’s still cold but I cannot give in
Am Em
I can’t let the weather win.
F C D G
You’re gone I suppose –spring is late this year.
F C D G
You’re gone I suppose –spring is late this year.
