The Deepening Snow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
It's [D]snowing out there
in the gloaming,
I've sat here and watched it all [G]night.
The [A]kids will be thrilled when they waken
And look at the fields, deep and [D]white
But the snow makes me
think of my darlin'
For she hated the snow and [G]the cold
Now she [A]lies in a grave back in Knoxville
With a headstone that's
just a year [D]old
Won't you please make the
winter go quick, Lord
So the flowers around her [G]can grow
For I [A]can't stand the
thought of my darling
Lying there in the deepening [D]snow
Little Nancy climbs up on my knee now
Saying, Daddy, just what causes [G]snow?
And [A]I tell of the wonderful Father
Who cares for us all here be[D]low
[Bm]Then I [D]hold her so close and I kiss her
And she, kissing back, doesn't [G]know
That [A]my kiss is meant for her mother,
Lying there in the deepening [D]snow.
Won't you please make
the winter go quick, Lord,
So the flowers around her can [G]grow
For I [A]can't stand the
thought of my darlin'
Lying there in the deepening snow
[D]
