Winter Calls The Rifles
Another smashing song from a hideously underated band.
The song really works as 2 guitar parts but i've tried to make it into one and include
very rough chords as best as i cud work them out but i know they're not 100% (esp the
suggestions welcome!
As for the intro it is easiest to play it by barring 7, middle finger on 8 and use your
finger on the A string, the phrases from the intro reoccur a lot throughout the song so
work with it and see whats sounds right to u. My first tab, Enjoy!

[G]Winter calls when I'm [C]alone and at the [D]end of the day
Like any fool who'd been the owner to a pretty face
Now time it separates us to a different place
I'd be alright if I could only stop thinking
[EM]And if I'm [D]happy cause you [C]say you are I[G]'d be lying
[EM]And if I [D]said I was a [C]man that don't need anyone at [D]all
Then I know I was wrong[G]
So d[C]on't leave me [D]out in the [G]cold
Foolishly shaking my bones
If you don't want my heart let me know
I get lonely when winter calls
[G]Winter calls the start[C] of june until the [D]end of May
Cause any rule I've ever had I've always had to break
I find I sit around trying to compensate
I feel alright at times but only when I'm drinking
[EM]And if I'm [D]happy cause you [C]say you are I[G]'d be lying
[EM]And if I [D]said I was a [C]man that don't need anyone at [D]all
Then I know I was wrong[G]
So d[C]on't leave me [D]out in the [G]cold
Foolishly shaking my bones
If you don't want my heart let me know
I get lonely when winter calls
[EM]And yes it [D]hurts to know that [C]I am not your [G]obligation
[BM]But I don't want to spend a [D]lifetime waiting...
[EM]And if I'm [D]happy cause you [C]say you are [G]I'd be lying
[EM]And every t[D]ime I close my ey[C]es I'm hearin[G]g warning sirens
[EM]The thought of y[D]ou in someone el[C]se's arms and [G]I feel violent
[EM]And if I s[D]aid I was a m[C]an then maybe I was fo[D]ol...
[D]But I know I was w[G]rong
So d[C]on't leave me [D]out in the [G]cold
Foolishly shaking my bones
If you don't want my heart let me know
I get lonely when winter calls
