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...



Riff  F#m A E D A E



E7     A                   F#m
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
I can swear I hear you call
                  F#m
Oh the nights are cold

when you don`t keep me warm.


                 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 D E A
for the devil to sing...
