Corb Lund - Just me and these ponies

^CI road up in those hills Like when ^Dmwe all used to ^Dm7go ^FCut a tree like the one That we ^Cused to alone

I ^Dmdrag it down off the slopes ^FTrimmed it up in the corner ^CWith tinsel and hoped

^AmI ain't heard from my son ^EmAnd I won't I expect ^FThe other's flight

^DAt least that's what he said ^CMy daughter's takin' the kids again ^GTo Maui this year ^FI guess don't blame em' ^CIt's pretty cold round here

^GmThank Christ for these horses ^FOr I'd be here at home Eighty years old spending ^CChristmas alone ^Gm7A blizzard is howling ^Dm7And night it grows near ^FIt's just me and the ponies ^CFor Christmas this year

^CIt's bitterly cold with ^Dmthree feet of snow ^FAnd this wouldn't be home ^DmIf the ^Dm7wind didn't blow ^CCan't get out of the yard ^DmI'm snowed in with the drifts ^FAnd no one is coming to ^Copen these gifts

^AmIf I were my father I'd ^Dhitch up a team ^EmTake the s^Fleigh to the neighbour's for ^Dbrandy and cream ^CBut that world is gone ^GIt's all dissappeared ^FIt's just me and the ponies ^CFor Christmas this year

^GmThank Christ for these horses ^FOr I'd be here at home Eighty years old spending ^CChristmas alone ^GmA blizzard is howling ^DmAnd night it grows near ^FIt's just me and the ponies ^CFor Christmas this year

^CThis old barn is still standing ^Dm7Not much longer I ^Dmthink I can ^Fsee the north star Through the ^Choles in the chink

And me a ^Dmbottle of cheer ^FIt's just me and the ponies ^CFor Christmas this year
