^DWell it's cold on this mountain, When the ^Gwinter comes on.^D Bmadd6 The dew in the meadow, Is ^Gsprinkled a^Along. This ^Bmroad down to ^ANashville, Like ^Gcrystal and ^Dstone. It's a ^Dplace where a man, Sells his ^Asoul for a ^Dsong.

^AGod knows, I loved her, Too ^Gmuch, I can ^Dsee. ^GMuch more than ^Dshe could have Ever loved ^Ame. If ^GI was the last man, In ^Bmeast Tenne^Gssee..^D. ^A ^D

^DWell, at times I feel I need the rain. At ^Gtimes, I need the ^Dsun. ^DPleasure is a thread of pain, When it is un^A7done. My ^Gmoments of insanity, Are ^Dnever like a ^Gchain. I ^Donly know I am not free, The ^Anights when I am ^Dsane.

So, ^Ddo not be concerned, my love, ^GIf you see me ^Dcry. For the ^Bmlaughter does not ^Achoose, To free the ^Ghappiness in^A7side. ^GJust as there may seem to be, A ^Dsmile that's out of ^Gplace. It ^Donly means there is a pain, That ^Ahurts too much to ^Dface.

It's ^Bmcold on this mountain, ^F#mWinter's come on. The ^Gdew in the meadow, Is ^Dsprinkled a^D/G#long. This ^Groad down to Nashville, Like ^Dcrystal and ^Gstone..^Em/F#. ^Asus4 ^A

^DI'm just one man, Sometimes ^GI wish I was three^D. ^BmI could take a ^F#mforty-four, ^GPistol to ^Dme. Put ^Gone in my brain, Just for ^Dher memo^Gry, ^DOne more for my heart, And ^AI would be ^Dfree. ^DOne more for my heart, ^AI would be ^Dfree.
