The Roof Is Leaking Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The[G][Am]
[G]roo[Am]f
is leaking and the wind [G]is howl[Am]ing
Kids are crying 'cause
the sheets [G]are so cold
[Am]Woke this morning found my
hands were frozen
I've tried to fix the fire,
but you [F]know [Am]the damn thing's too old
It's been months now, since we [G]heard from our Mary,

[Verse 2]
[Am]
I wonder if she ever [F]made the [Am]coast[G]
[Am]Well, she and her young man,
they both [G]moved out [Am]there
I sure hope they [F]write, [Am]just to let us know

[Verse 3]
An[F]d me,
[Dm]I'm [Am]getting stronger b[G]y the minute
[F]My wife's ex[Dm]pecting,
but I [Am]hope she [G]can wait
[F]'Cause this win[Dm]ter looks like it's
[Am]gonna be another [G]bad [F]one
But [Dm]spring'll soon [Am]be here,
[G]Oh God I hope it's [Am]not late

[Verse 4]
Ma [Am]and pa lived here, and theirs
before them
They tried their hardest
to make it a home
Seems so long now since
they passed over
Hope my children'll try
to make it their own

[Verse 5]
The roof [Am]is leaking and the
[G]wind is howl[Am]ing
The kinds are crying,
'cause the [F]sheets are [Am]so cold
Woke this morning found my
hands [G]were frozen[Am]
Oh, I've tried to fix the fire, but you
[F]know the [G]damn thing's too [Am]old
But [F]me oh,

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
[Am]I'm getting stronger [G]by the minute
[F]My wife's ex[Dm]pecting,
but I [Am]hope she [G]can wait
[F]'Cause this win[Dm]ter looks like
it's [Am]gonna be another [G]bad one
[F]But[Dm] spring'll soon be here[Am],
[G]Oh, God I hope it's not late
