Intro:
A augmentedA BB E MajorE C# minorC#m
A augmentedA BB E MajorE G#G#

Verse 1:
A augmentedA     G#G#      C# minorC#m
The noble pine stands alone
F#F#        BB
No one to see how tall it’s grown
    E MajorE
In its frozen home
   A augmentedA       BB
So it stands in the snow
    E MajorE      C# minorC#m
And the north winds blow
    A augmentedA      BB      C# minorC#m G#G#
It’s a cold little life here in Winters

Verse 2:
A augmentedA       G#G#    C# minorC#m
And there’s a boy all alone
F#F#         BB
No one to care how tall he’s grown
    E MajorE
In his frozen home
   A augmentedA       BB      Esus4Esus4
So he stands on his own like the pine

Chorus 1:
      D MajorD
And as the snow falls down
     A augmentedA
It never makes a sound
     F# minorF#m      BB
Sure, it seems to fly around
     E MajorE       A augmentedA
But it’s headed for the ground
C majorC       BB    E MajorE
This winter’s gonna be long, yeah
C majorC       BB    E MajorE G#G#
This winter’s gonna be long

Verse 3:
A augmentedA     G#G#       C# minorC#m
And in his dreams, he can fly
F#F#       BB
A augmentedA daring genius hero guy
    E MajorE
With a dad nearby
    A augmentedA
But he wakes,
      BB
And there’s snow
    E MajorE      C# minorC#m
And the north winds blow
    A augmentedA      BB      C# minorC#m G#G#
It’s a cold little life here in Winters

Verse 4:
A augmentedA     G#G#      C# minorC#m
So will he live like the pine?
F#F#          BB
Perfectly still, just killing time,
   E MajorE
In a slow decline
      A augmentedA    BB      Esus4Esus4
Or will he come to be something more?

Chorus 2:
        D MajorD
Maybe adventure lies
      A augmentedA
Beyond the snowy skies

F# minorF#m         BB
With a purpose and a friend
    E MajorE        A augmentedA
Waiting just around the bend
C majorC       BB    E MajorE
Till then he’s gotta be strong, yeah
C majorC        BB    E MajorE
‘Cause winter’s gonna be long
