Bill Morrissey - These cold fingers

^DGina left town with the ^Dmaj7first snow of the year He ^Gdrove her to the ^G/F#airport in his ^EmFord And he ^Dtried to pro^Empose as he ^Dordered one more ^Embeer But the ^GP.A. drowned his ^G/F#words and it was ^Emtime for her to ^Aboard

So he ^Dwalked her to the gate, he took his ^Dmaj7hat off as he kissed her He needed ^Gone more dri^G/F#nk to take the ^Emchill out of his soul He ^Dsaid a quick good^Embye then spent two ^Dhours in the ^Embar ^GFinally paid his ^G/F#tab and kept a ^Emdollar for the ^Atoll

^G Everything ^Aslips through ^Dthese ^D/C#cold fin^D/Bgers ^{D/A G} Like trying to hold water, ^A trying to hold sand Close your ^Geyes and make a ^Awish and ^Dlisten ^D/C#to the ^D/Bsinger ^D/A One more ^Ground bar^Atender, pour a ^Gdouble ^Aif you ^Dcan ^A

^D It's four a'clock and the ^Dmaj7sun's gone down the drain ^G It's still late^G/F# winter but they ^Emsay it's early ^Aspring ^D Lewis reads the ^Emgas pumps, ^DRossi counts the ^Emoils But ^Gme, I'm done s^G/F#o punch the clock and "^EmSee you in the ^Amorning"

^D There's nothing back at home that ain't gone ^Dmaj7greasy from the stove I ^Gnever laughed so ^G/F#hard as when that typew^Emriter broke Think I'll ^Dstop along the ^EmRiver Road for a ^Dhalf pint and some ^Embeer Well, every^Gthing would be o^G/F#kay if those old ^Emdreams would disap^Apear

^G Everything ^Aslips through ^Dthese ^D/C#cold fin^D/Bgers ^{D/A G} Like trying to hold water, ^A trying to hold sand Close your ^Geyes and make a ^Awish and ^Dlisten ^D/C#to the ^D/Bsinger ^D/A One more ^Ground bar^Atender, pour a ^Gdouble ^Aif you ^Dcan ^A

The ^Ddog can't move no more, surprised he ^Dmaj7made it till the spring His ^Gpain won't go a^G/F#way and the ^Empills don't do a ^Athing ^DYou've known that old hound ^Emlonger than you've ^Dknown any of your^Em friends And no ^Gmatter how you ^G/F#let him down, he'd always ^Emtake you back a^Again

So it's ^Done tall glass of whiskey, one last ^Dmaj7drink for old-times sake The ^Gdog just lays in^G/F# bed and watches ^Emevery move you ^Amake ^DWrap him in his ^Emblanket, hold him ^Donce more close to ^Emyou Lead him ^Gout behind the ^G/F#barn with a ^Emborrowed .2^A2
