North Dakota Cifras

Am C Dm F Am C G
 
Am                      C
Been snowin all day when I got home
 Dm                 F
The fire was out the cabin was cold
Am                      C                 G
And I poured some stale coffee from the pot
Am                      C
The longer I waited the snow got higher
 Dm                    F
Had to split some wood and build a fire
Am              C                    G
If she told me she’d be gone I forgot
 
Am C Dm F Am C G
 
Am               C
I’d seen it snow that hard before
 Dm                               F
I couldn’t see the cabin from the stable door
Am                        C                   G
And that mare she always rode was in the stall
Am                           C
The law couldn’t come till the weather broke
Dm                    F
My heart was poundin in my throat
Am                         C                      G
And I searched and called her name till it was raw
 
Am C Dm F Am C G x2
 
Am                  C
I never should have brought her here
Dm                F
Livin’s hard this time of year
Am                     C                     G
Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done
 Am                  C
Sometimes she'd gaze across the plains
Dm                 F
With a look that I couldn’t name
Am                     C                          G
And I’d wonder if she'd stay till springtime comes
 
Am C Dm F Am C G (x2)
 
Am                 C
I found her on the first warm day
Dm                    F
The rain had washed the snow away
Am                 C                    G
Gone for wood and lost her way back home
Am                     C
And I ain’t the kind believes in ghosts
Dm                    F
But some nights I get pretty close
Am               C                G
When the North Dakota winter moans
Am              C                 G
When the North Dakota winter moans
 
Am C Dm F Am C G
