Chris Knight - North dakota

^AmBeen snowin all day when^C I got home T^Dmhe fire was out the^F cabin was cold ^AmAnd I poured some stale ^Ccoffee from the po^Gt ^AmThe longer I waited the ^Csnow got higher H^Dmad to split some wood ^Fand build a fire ^AmIf she told me s^Che’d be gone I forgot^G

^AmI’d seen it snow ^Cthat hard before I^Dm couldn’t see the cabin from the ^Fstable door ^AmAnd that mare she always r^Code was in the stall^{G Am}The law couldn’t come till th^Ce weather broke ^DmMy heart was poundin i^Fn my throat ^AmAnd I searched and called h^Cer name till it was raw^G

^AmI never should have ^Cbrought her here ^DmLivin’s hard this ^Ftime of year ^AmTryin to keep food and ^Cfire till winters done^G S^Amometimes she'd gaze ^Cacross the plains ^DmWith a look that I ^Fcouldn’t name ^AmAnd I’d wonder if she'd^C stay till springtime comes^G

^AmI found her on the ^Cfirst warm day ^DmThe rain had washed th^Fe snow away ^AmGone for wood and l^Cost her way back home^{G Am}And I ain’t the kind be^Clieves in ghosts ^DmBut some nights I get ^Fpretty close ^AmWhen the North Da^Ckota winter moans^{G Am}When the North D^Cakota winter moans^G
