Joe Purdy - Santa rosa in the snow

Happy ^CNew Year Santa Rosa here I am I was br^Fought in by the weather and the co^Cld I was he^Gading towards the West to find the s^Amand But I gu^Gess I'll have to settle for the s^Fnow

And ^CI am just a stranger to this town I'm lo^Fnely and I'm restless and I'm st^Cuck I w^Gish I knew a way to get back do^Amwn And I ^Gwish I had a shovel in this tru^Fck

And the s^Ctate police won't let me on the street I to^Fld 'em my story, but they don't c^Care There's an o^Gld dog just lying at the fe^Amet Of a g^Girl who once wore flowers in her h^Fair

And ^Cmy heart lies fifty miles ahead ^FUnderneath a bridge just out of si^Cght she si^Gts beneath the covers of a b^Amed Where she w^Gaits for me to meet her in the ni^Fght

And t^Chis old town was named after a rose That bl^Fooms along the hillside in the cold gr^Cound But m^Gy heart has been broken and is cl^Amosed Like the fr^Geeway that would take me out of t^Fown

^CAnd just because I don't got no regrets Yeah well t^Fhat don't mean I didn't get it wr^Cong M^Gy love is like a homemade summer dr^Amess I^G am just a lonely winter so^Fng

And ^CI dust off the snowflakes from the hood And ^FI talk to an old friend on the ph^Cone She says, &^Gquot;I think that the calm could do^Am you good Yo^Gu have been traveling so lo^Fng"

So Happy ^CNew Years babe, I guess this is goodbye And I^F hope that you find someone you can ho^Cld And i^Gf you hear that midnight whistle c^Amry Please ^Gthink of me in Santa Rosa in the sn^Fow
