Gordon Lightfoot - 10 Degrees And Getting Colder CAPO: 4th Fret [INTRO:] C [VERSE 1:] He was standing by the highway With a sign that just said 'Mother'

When he heard a ^Fdriver ^Ccoming About a ^D7half a mile a^Gway

[VERSE 2:]

And he ^Cheld the sign up higher So no decent soul could miss it

It was ten degrees or colder

Down by ^GBoulder Dam that ^Cday

[VERSE 3:] He was raised up in Milwaukee Though he never was that famous

He was just a ^Froad mu^Csician To the ^D7taverns he would ^Ggo

[VERSE 4:]

Singing ^Csongs about the rambling The loving girls and gambling

How the world fell on his shoulders

Back in ^GBoulder I don't ^Cknow

[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F Csus4 C F G7 [VERSE 5:]

It was ^Cout in Arizona That he heard the lady listening To each word that ^Fhe was ^Csinging To each ^D7line that he would ^Gwrite

[VERSE 6:]

So he ^Csat down by her table And they talked about the weather

98.6 and rising

Down by ^GBoulder Dam that ^Cnight

[BRIDGE:]

And she told him^F she would take him ^Csus4 For a ride in the ^Fmorning sun Back in Boulder he had told her ^Csus4 "I don't know when I had a ^Fbetter friend" ^G7

[VERSE 7:]

Now he's ^Ctraded off his Martin But his troubles are not over For his feet are ^Falmost ^Cfrozen And the ^D7sun is sinking ^Glow

[VERSE 8:]

Won't you ^Clisten to me brother If you've ever loved your mother Please pull off ^Fon the ^Cshoulder If you're ^D7going Milwaukee ^Gway

[OUTRO:]

It's ten de^Cgrees and getting colder Down by ^GBoulder Dam ^Ctoday

Gordon Lightfoot - 10 degrees and getting colder
