The Deepening Snow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
It's [D]snowing out
there in the gloaming
I've sat here and watched it all [G]night

[Verse 2]
The [A]kids will be thrilled when they waken
And look at the fields [D]deep [A]and whi[D]te

[Verse 3]
But [D]the snow makes me think of my darling
For he hated the snow and the cold
[G]

[Verse 4]
Now [A]he lies in a grave back in Knoxville
With a headstone that's
just one [D]year old

[Verse 5]
Won't you [D]please make
the winter go quick Lord
So the flowers around him can [G]grow

[Verse 6]
For I [A]can't stand the
thought of my darling
Lying there in the deepening
[D]snow

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D][Bb]

[Verse 7]
Little [Eb]Jimmy climbs up on my knee now
Saying mommy what causes the [Ab]snow

[Verse 8]
And I [Bb]tell of the wonderful father
Who cares for us all here [Eb]be l[Cm]ow
[Eb]Then

[Verse 9]
I hold him so close and I kiss him
And he kissing back doesn't [Ab]know

[Verse 10]
That my [Bb]kiss was meant for his daddy
Lying there in the deepening
[Eb]snow[Bb][Cm]
[Eb]Won't you

[Verse 11]
please make
the winter go quick Lord
So the flowers around him can [Ab]grow

[Verse 12]
For I [Bb]can't stand the
thought of my darling
Lying there in the deepening [Eb]snow

[Verse 13]
Lying [Bb]there in the deepening
[Eb]snow
