Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
G+G
It was a cold and cruel evening
C majorC G+G
Sneaking up on Speedy Creek
D MajorD G+G
Found myself asleepin' in the snow
For one or two odd reasons
C majorC
I ain't too proud to repeat
A augmentedA D MajorD
For now we'll say I had no place to go
G+G
There was a rustle and a humming
C majorC G+G
Just hauling down the street
D MajorD
I drew myself up from my icy bed
G+G C majorC G+G
Painted on that shiny car the letters 'RCM and P'
G+G D MajorD
I can feel a little aching in my head
Verse 2:
G+G
And then out jumps this old boy
C majorC G+G
About twice the size of me
D MajorD G+G
He asked me for my name and where I dwelt
I just looked him in the eye
C majorC G+G
And sang 'Blue Yodel Number 9'
A augmentedA D MajorD
He didn't catch the reference, I could tell
G+G
Then the old, familiar click
C majorC G+G
and the handcuffs bind and grip
C majorC G+G
Should have left me in the snow, where I laid
G+G
He just laughed and touched his gun
C majorC
And turned to me and said
G+G D MajorD
Son, I bet you don't own a damn thing
G+G
To your name
Chorus:
C majorC
Well, I got my health
G+G
My John BB Stetson
D MajorD G+G
Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine
C majorC
And I left my stash
G+G
Somewhere down in Preston
D MajorD G+G
Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind
C majorC
Well, I got my health
G+G
My John BB Stetson
D MajorD G+G
Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine
C majorC
And I left my stash
G+G
Somewhere down in Preston
D MajorD G+G
