Winnipeg Waltz

[Bm]Two frozen rivers, with ice like boulders
[D]Cracking past Portage and Maine
[Bm]Dark downtown buildings, one glowing tavern
Are breaking [D]loose from winter's chains

CHO
The [A]winter wind whistling, [G]the outside [D]air
And [A]inside it's like we found [G]summer some[D]where
My [A]car is all rusted, [G]from roadcrew [D]salt
And [Bm]doing the [A]Winnipeg [D]waltz   [Bm]       [A]          [D]

[Bm]Railroads and water, Assiniboine and red
The [D]reasons why we're here
The [Bm]continent's center, the middle of it all
Hangin' [D]out and drinkin' beer

CHO
It's [A]too cold to snow now [G]but we don't [D]care
And [A]inside it's like we found [G]summer some[D]where
My [A]car is all rusted [G]from roadcrew [D]salt
And [Bm]doin' the [A]Winnipeg [D]waltz  [Bm]      [A]         [D]

I [Bm]love you more in the frozen winter
I [D]think about you beneath your clothes
Lets [Bm]have one more drink in this crowded tavern
I'll [D]kiss your chilly lips and your frozen nose

CHO
The [A]winter wind whistlin' [G]the outside [D]air
And [A]inside it's like we found [G]summer some[D]where
You won't [A]turn to a pumpkin or a [G]pillar of [D]salt
From [Bm]doin' the [A]Winnipeg [D]waltz  [Bm]      [A]         [D]
