The Roof Is Leaking chords by Phil Collins

Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo 1st fret, drop-D


INTRO Dm, x3
Dm...

VERSE 1
DmDm
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
C majorC
Kids are crying 'cos the sheets are so cold
DmDm
I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
DmDm
I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old

VERSE 2
DmDm
It's been months now since we heard from our Mary,
C majorC
I wonder if she ever made the coast
DmDm
She and her young man, they both moved out there
DmDm
But I sure hope they write, just to let us know
MIDDLE 8
    C majorC
And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
C majorC
My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
C majorC
  'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
DmDm      [ch]Cadd2[/ch]
  But spring'll soon be here, oh oh
                       DmDm
God I hope it's not late

VERSE 3
DmDm
Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them
C majorC
Tried their hardest to make it a home
DmDm
Seems so long now since they passed over
DmDm
Hope my children'll try   to make it their own
