Strum
D-DU-UDU
Been  snowin all day when I got home
 The  fire was out the cabin was  cold
 And I poured  some stale coffee from  the pot
 The longer  I waited the snow got  higher
 So I split  some wood and built a fire
 If she told  me she’d be gone I forgot
 I’d seen it snow that hard before
 I couldn’t see the cabin from the stable door
 And that mare she always rode was in the stall
 The law couldn’t come till the weather broke
 My heart was poundin in my throat
 And I searched and called her name till it was raw
 I never should have brought her here
 Livin’s rough this time of year
 Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done
 Sometimes she gazed across the plains
 With a look that I couldn’t name
 And I’d wonder if she stay till springtime comes
 Enjoy!!
