Lion In The Winter
Hoyt Axton and Linda Ronstadt


Intro F#m A E D


    A
Like a lion in the winter
   D        A
I can hear the summer call

Like a ship out on the ocean
    E   E7
made of stone
    A            A7
And sometimes when I get lonely
   D    A       E
I can swear I hear you call
    A
Oh the nights are cold
     E       D  A D A
when you won`t keep me warm
         D
And when I first saw you
     A    E  A
I first loved you....
          E  D
With a song that I sang
          A  E
to the fire in your eyes.....
  A    D
But somebody told you
          A  E
that it wouldn`t be easy...
A          E  D
And you carried that lie....
         A   E
for the devil to sing....

     A
Some sail rivers deep and muddy
     D        A
some sail rivers clear and cold
            F#m
But the river that I`m sailin`
    E   E7
goes to sea
    A
And sometimes I do grow weary
D        A
sometimes I feel old
        F#m
And sometimes I wonder
E   E7    D
if you think of me



  A      D
And when I first saw you
    A
I first loved you
    F#m     E   D
With a song that I sang....
          A
to the fire in your eyes
       D
But somebody told you
          A  E  A
that it wouldn`t be easy....
           E  D
And you carried that lie...
         A   E
for the devil to sing...
