Santa Rosa in the Snow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Happy New Year Santa Rosa here I am
I was [F]brought in by the [C]weather
and the cold
[G]I was heading towards
the West to find the [Am]sand
I guess [G]I'll have to settle for the [F]snow

[Verse 2]
And [C]I am just a stranger to this [Am]town
I'm [F]lonely and I'm
restless and I'm [C]stuck
[Am]And I wish[G] I knew a way
to get back [Am]down
And I [G]wish I had a shovel in
[F]this truck
And the state [C]police won't let me on the street

[Verse 3]
[F]I
told 'em my story - they
don't [C]care
[G]There's an old dog just lying [Am]at the feet
Of a [G]girl who once wore flowers [F]in her hair
And my [C]heart lies fifty miles

[Verse 4]
ahead
Under[F]neath a bridge just out of [C]sight
Where [G]she sits beneath
the covers of a [Am]bed
Where she [G]waits for me to meet
her in the [F]night
And this old [C]town was named

[Verse 5]
after a rose
[Am]That [C]blo[F]oms along the hillside
in [Am]the cold ground[C]
But [G]my heart has been broken
and it's [Am]closed
Like the free[G]way that would
take me [F]out of town
And [C]just because I ain't got no [Am]regrets[C]

[Verse 6]
That [F]don't mean I
didn't get it [C]wrong
[G]My love is like a homemade Summer [Am]dress
And [G]I am just a lonely Winter [F]song
I [C]dust off the snowflakes from the hood

[Verse 7]
[F]And I talk to an old friend on the [C]phone
She [G]says, "I think that the calm
[Am]could do you good
[G]You know you've been driving for [F]so long"
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][Am][G]
[F]
So Happy New [C]Years babe, I guess this is goodbye

[Verse 8]
[C]
[F]And I hope that you
find someone you can [C]hold
[G]And if you hear that midnight
whistle [Am]cry
Please think [G]of me in Santa Rosa
in the [F]snow

[Outro 1]
