North Dakota

• Em

Capo 1 
 
(Em G D Am Em G D) 
 
(Em)Been snowin all day when(G)I got home 
The(D)fire was out the(Am)cabin was cold 
And I(Em)poured some stale(G)coffee from the(D)pot 
The(Em)longer I waited the(G)snow got higher 
So I(D)split some wood and(Am)built a fire 
If she(Em)told me she?d be(G)gone I(D)forgot 
 
I?d seen it snow that hard before 
I couldn?t see the cabin from the stable door 
And that mare she always rode was in the stall 
The law couldn?t come till the weather broke 
My heart was poundin in my throat 
And I searched and called her name till it was raw 
 
I never should have brought her here 
Livin?s rough this time of year 
Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done 
Sometimes she gazed across the plains 
With a look that I couldn?t name 
And I?d wonder if she stay till springtime comes 
 
I found her on the first warm day 
The rain had washed the snow away 
Went for wood and lost her way back home 
And I ain?t the kind believes in ghosts 
But some nights I get pretty close 
When the North Dakota winter moans 
When the North Dakota winter moans
