| Oh the snow fell without a break |
| buffalo died in the frozen fields you know. |
| Through the coldest winter in almost 14 years |
| I couldn't believe you kept a smile. |
| Now I can rest assured |
| knowing that we've seen the worst |
| and I know I love ya. |
| Oh I never was good with romantic words |
| so the next few lines come really hard |
| don't have much but what I've got is yours |
| except of course my steel guitar |
| Ha cause I know you don't play it |
| but I'll teach one day |
| because I love ya. |

| I recall the night we knelt and prayed |
| noticing your face was thin and pale |
| I found it hard to hide my tears |
| I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down |
| B | A | |
| no m | andolin wind couldn't ch | ange a thing |
| F#m | B | |
| couldn't c | hange a thing no, | no. |

| The co | ldest winter in almost | 14 years |
| F#m | B | |

| And I l | ove ya yes indeed I l | ove ya |
| B | A | F#m | B | |
| And I l | ove ya glory I lo | ve ya. | Whoo- | hooo! |
