Introduction: A E
F#m A5
Well there ain&rsquo t much sun, this time of year
D Bm
There&rsquo s more hours of work, than light around here
A F#m
And now the hay&rsquo s runnin&rsquo low, cause the summer was dry
Bm D E
But I&rsquo m a northern man, I&rsquo m too stubborn to die
F#m A
And I wrote your name in the frost, of my passenger window
D Bm
Just to have you by my side, when it&rsquo s forty below
A F#m
But it&rsquo ll soon fade away, in the pale sunrise
Bm D E
Like the day you ponied up, and you rode off ropin&rsquo skies
D A E F#m
And it&rsquo s gonna be another, long hard winter, east of the great divide
D A
where the skies are snowin&rsquo , and the winds are blowin'
E F#m
down off the mountain side
D A
Well there&rsquo s two things I know that&rsquo ll break a man
E F#m
one&rsquo s a broken heart inside
D A E A
And the other&rsquo s a long hard winter, east of the great divide
F#m A5
Steers didn&rsquo t bring much, cause the market&rsquo s been down
D Bm
And there ain&rsquo t much help, this far from town
A F#m
And now the truck won&rsquo t start, cause the battery&rsquo s froze
Bm D E
Well I could damn this life, but it&rsquo s the life I chose
F#m A5
And now I hope you&rsquo re doin&rsquo well, out in Southern Califon&rsquo
D Bm
Or in North Carolin&rsquo , where the weather&rsquo s warm
A F#m
cause now I&rsquo m froze to the bone, on the eastern line
Bm D E
Yeah wherever you are, well I hope you&rsquo re doin&rsquo fine
D A E F#m
Cause it&rsquo s gonna be another, long hard winter, east of the great divide
D A
where the skies are snowin&rsquo , and the winds are blowin'
E
down off the mountain side
D A
Well there&rsquo s two things I know that&rsquo ll break a man
E F#m
one&rsquo s a broken heart inside
D A E A
And the other&rsquo s a long hard winter, east of the great divide
D A E A
And the other&rsquo s a long hard winter, east of the great divide
