I've been too long with my nose in a book

I hope you sing just as good as you look
C                                   G
Come on over baby, I got a song for you

A little jump of something I call wintertime blues

I wanna hear those mockingbird wings
                      G7
I want gravy on everything
C                                          G
Lovin' in the kitchen, what have we got to lose
D7                                        G
Just a nasty case of these ol' wintertime blues
G

Cold as snot with a big frozen smile
                             G7
Ain't foolin' nobody after a while
C                                              G
Time to let the cat out, I've got a real short fuse
D7                                             G7

There's no spring There was never any spring
                                                           G
Spring's a long gone thing There won't ever be a spring no more
C
At least that's the way it feels when your
C
Skin is cracked and peeled and you've been livin' under
C
Sixty pounds of blanket and the snow's drifting up to your window
C                                                  C  C#   D
And you're out of firewood and the wolf is howling at your door

Verse:
G
Three hours of day light and all of them gray
G                                        G7
The suicide prevention group has all run away
C                                                   G
I'm runnin' out of groceries, I ain't got no rubber shoes
D7                                         G
Bring the bacon baby, I got the wintertime blues
G
I could cut a hole in the floor
G                                G7
Catch you a fish by a quarter to four
C                                                       G
But I'm stuck up this mountain where I got a bird's eye view
D7                                             G
Of couple more months of these ol' wintertime blues
              G    G
And it's a one, two, my lips are turning blue
C                                     G
Come on over baby what have we got to lose
D7                                        G
Just a nasty case of these ol' wintertime blues
              G     G
And it's three, four, I'm stiff as Al Gore
C                                     G
Come on over baby what have we got to lose
D7                                        G
Just a nasty case of these ol' wintertime blues
                       G    G
Well, it's the same old drill
    G             G
For Punxsutawney Phil
      G
If he sees his own shadow
              G
I'm shootin' to kill
C                             G
Come on over baby, I stand accused
D7
There's a man going crazy up here
                      G    G G7/B C7 C#dim7 D7sus4 Ab7 G7
