[Intro]
Em F# Cadd9
Em F# Cadd9
Em F# Cadd9 Cadd9 (hammer pattern)
[Verse 1]
Em F# Cadd9
Must be a cold front coming
Em F# Cadd9
Cause I saw the eastbound C&O
Em F# Cadd9 Em F# Cadd9
And the coal cars were dusted with a half inch of snow
Em F# Cadd9
And that boy'll drive me crazy
Em F# Cadd9
Don't know what I'll do with him
Em F# Cadd9 Em F# Cadd9
School will be out tomorrow if that cold front moves in
[Bridge]
Em F# Cadd9
Calling out
Em F# Cadd9
To the dying daylight
Em F# Cadd9
The shadows of the mountains
Em F# Cadd9
Bringing on the night
[Verse 2]
Em F# Cadd9
The old folks like to whisper
Em F# Cadd9
He favors your side in his face
Em F# Cadd9
When he gets a little older
Em F# Cadd9 Em F# Cadd9
He's going to lead a merry chase
[Chorus]
D G Cadd9
When I'm all alone it's all right
D G Cadd9
It Isn't going to wound my pride
D G Cadd9
If anyone can claim they're all right
Em F$ Cadd9
So can I
[Verse 3]
Em F# Cadd9
I wrecked the El Camino
Em F# Cadd9
Would have been DWI
Em F# Cadd9
So I just walked off and left it
Em F# Cadd9 Em F$ Cadd9
Laying on its side
Em F# Cadd9
The troopers found it in the morning
Em F# Cadd9
And they said it's purely luck I wasn't killed
Em F# Cadd9
I probably ought to quit my drinking
Em F# Cadd9
But I don't believe I will
[Chorus]
D G Cadd9
When I'm all alone it's all right
D G Cadd9
It Isn't going to wound my pride
D G Cadd9
If anyone can claim they're all right
Em F# Cadd9 Em F# Cadd9
So can I
[Verse 4]
Em F# Cadd9
He used to ask about you
Em F# Cadd9
About a million times a day
Em F# Cadd9
I got so tired of trying to answer
Em F# Cadd9
I just turned my head away
Em F# Cadd9
Now he don't pay me much attention
Em F# Cadd9
He's not asking anymore
Em F# Cadd9
I guess he'd probably know you
Em F# Cadd9
If you walked back in the door
[Bridge/Outro]
Em F# Cadd9
Calling out to the empty night
Em F# Cadd9
Watching as the snowflakes
Em F# Cadd9
Come dancing round the light
Em F# Cadd9
Dancing up against the window
Em F# Cadd9
It's like they're peeking through the glass
Em F# Cadd9
And they hover for a moment
Em F# Cadd9
And then they fall on past
Em F# Cadd9 Em F# Cadd9
Calling out
