Just Me And These Ponies chords by Corb Lund

Verse:
 C
I road up in those hills

           Dm                Dm7
Like when we all used to go

 F
Cut a tree like the one

         C
That we used to alone


Behind the old sorrel mare
   Dm
I drag it down off the slopes

 F
Trimmed it up in the corner

 C
With tinsel and hoped



 Am
I ain't heard from my son

 Em
And I won't I expect

 F
The other's flight


It was cancelled
 D
At least that's what he said

 C
My daughter's takin' the kids again

 G
To Maui this year

 F
I guess don't blame em'

 C
It's pretty cold round here



Chorus:
 Gm
Thank Christ for these horses

 F
Or I'd be here at home

                           C
Eighty years old spending Christmas alone

 Gm7
A blizzard is howling

 Dm7
And night it grows near

 F
It's just me and the ponies

 C
For Christmas this year


Dm7 G

 C                         Dm
It's bitterly cold with three feet of snow

 F
And this wouldn't be home

 Dm        Dm7
If the wind didn't blow

 C
Can't get out of the yard

 Dm
I'm snowed in with the drifts

 F                         C
And no one is coming to open these gifts


 Am                         D
If I were my father I'd hitch up a team

 Em           F                              D
Take the sleigh to the neighbour's for brandy and cream

 C
But that world is gone

 G
It's all dissappeared

 F
It's just me and the ponies

 C
For Christmas this year


Chorus:
 Gm
Thank Christ for these horses

 F
Or I'd be here at home

                           C
Eighty years old spending Christmas alone

 Gm
A blizzard is howling

 Dm
And night it grows near

 F
It's just me and the ponies

 C
For Christmas this year


A F Em F G

 C
This old barn is still standing

 Dm7                   Dm
Not much longer I think

       F
I can see the north star

             C
Through the holes in the chink


Tonight it's oats for my pals
          Dm
And me a bottle of cheer

 F
It's just me and the ponies

 C
For Christmas this year
