The Ballad Of Jeff chords by Brentalfloss

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
A B E C#m
A B E G#

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

Verse 2:
A       G#    C#m
And there’s a boy all alone
F#         B
No one to care how tall he’s grown
    E
In his frozen home
   A       B      Esus4
So he stands on his own like the pine

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

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

Verse 4:
A     G#      C#m
So will he live like the pine?
F#          B
Perfectly still, just killing time,
   E
In a slow decline
      A    B      Esus4
Or will he come to be something more?

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

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