Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Sno[F]win[C]g,
through South [F]Dakota I [C]once drove,
With the wife of my best pal,
Who cloaks her [F]heart from cold with gold.
It was [C]well into the winter,
Of [F]December in [C]the cold.
Off to see Mount Rushmore,
[F]Staring through the[C] snow.
And [Am]to gamble with [F]the boys of
[G]Deadwood as we drove.
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Snowing, I am shaking out [C]the snow.
Oh, [F]the cold that is within [G]my heart,
I'm gonna shake out
all that [C]snow.
[F]Riding years [G]ago,
Through the South Dakota [C]roads.
When [F]the laughter could thaw [G]Enderby,
And shake me from [C]the snow.
[F]Like a hurricane through Flor[C]ida,
[G][Am][G]
[F]I'll shake out [G]all this
snow.
[C][F][C]

[Verse 3]
Snowing, one Christmas [F]morn'
when I was [C]four.[F]
[C]My brother told me it was warm,
So [F]a swimsuit I a[C]dorned.
[F]Then [C]he sent me to the weather,
And behind [F]me locked the [C]doors.
[F]A f[C]our year old in a swim suit,
And brand new plastic skates.
[Am]Out into the s[F]now to catch this cold,
[G]I cannot shake.
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Snowing, I am shaking out [C]the snow.
Oh, [F]the cold that is within [G]my heart,
I'm gonna shake out all
that [C]snow.[F]
Riding years [G]ago,
Through the South Dakota [C]roads.
[F]When the laughter could thaw [G]Enderby,
And shake me from [C]the snow.
Like a [F]hurricane through [C]Florida,
[G][Am][C]
I'll [F]shake out [G]all this snow.
[C]

[Verse 5]
Snowing, yeah, [F]it snows [C]in Tennessee.
[F]The pla[C]ce where I now make my life.
Is still [F]snowing down [C]on [F]me.[C]
I'd prefer Antarctica,
Perhaps the land of Enderby.
Where the weather is my heart,
And I'm [F]closer to [C]the sea.
Since I can[Am]not ever [F]seem to shake,
The snow [G]out of me.
[C]

[Verse 6]
[G]Snowing, I am shaking out [C]the snow.
Oh, [F]the cold that is within [G]my heart,
I'm gonna shake out
all that [C]snow.
[F]Riding years [G]ago,
Through the South
Dakota road[C]s.
When the [F]laughter could thaw [G]Enderby,
And shake me from [C]the snow.
Like [F]a hurricane through [C]Florida,
[G][Am]
[C]I'll [F]shake out all [G]this snow.
[C]

[Verse 7]
And all across the states you see,
The tractors and the ploughs.
Clearing out the roads,
And the bridges north and south.
Something they did learn,
And I just don't seem to know,
How [Am]to clear a pas[F]sage,
And [G]shake out all the snow.
