When Winter Comes Rheostatics
I read about your [G]band in the entertainment [Em]news
[D]struck me how you sounded so [C]cynical[G]
fo[G]r every Ocean Ranger and [Em]penny-poor reserve
you're wa[D]sted in a tavern with other [C]wasted bird[G]s
but [G]what about The Band? What [Em]about the Guess Who?
the da[D]y they made the charts in Billboard [C]magazine..[G].
[Bm]All the Irish armies couldn't[G] teach you
Of [Bm]independence, peace and [D]brotherhood
(same as above)
I hope I'm never bitter and I hope I never change
I hope I have a reason to be concerned
for all the wounded divers and all the sunken crews
who wouldn't know the secrets of the deep had they waited on board
for someone wants a contract and someone wants a crumb
and some will dress in greasepaint on Video Hits (VH1)
all the Irish armies couldn't keep you
from standing there and speaking sabre-toothed
Do you get the [C]urge when winter [G]comes?
(same as above)
All the laughing scarecrows and all the cocaine dogs
couldn't bark me down my fence into the middle of your yard
someone wants a contract and someone wants a crumb
and some will dress in greasepaint and suck a lotta cock
all the Irish armies couldn't keep you
from hiking like an injured, aimless mule
do you get the urge when winter comes?
cut.
in the[G] blue Canadian winter i'll [C]follow your [G]trail
'til your [G]love becomes a snowbank [D]hardened by gael
when [G]ice appears on matchsticks and the [C]salt trucks [G]fail
and c[G]oalmen hibernate through [D]their a[G]larms
(same as above)
in the blue Canadian winter an iceman roams
building railroads made of iron sweat and skin
when you become thawed out
your love will swamp the tracks
and my heart will be restored with virgin blood
[F]warm, your warm
[G]Victoria
