Valley Winter Song

	  		Intro.: A#, Dm, D# x 4  -> Gm 
 
                 D# 
Hey Sweet Annie 
          A#                 F 
Don't take it so bad 
                                               Cm 
You know the summer's coming soon 
                  D#              F                   A#                 D# 
Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand 
           Cm                                            D#           A# 
And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon 
 
 
                  D# 
Your daddy told you 
          F               A# 
When you were a girl 
       Dm                                                   D# 
The kind of things that come to those who wait 
      D#        A# 
So give it a rest girl 
   D#              A# 
Take a deep breath girl 
         Cm                                   D# 
And meet me at the Bay State tonight 
 
 
             F 
And the snow is coming down 
      D#                     A# 
On our New England town 
             F                         Gm 
And it's been falling all day long 
Gm               F 
What else is new 
 D#              Gm 
What could I do 
    D# 
I wrote a valley winter song 
                 A#     
To play for you 
 
Intro.   -> Gm 
 
                 D# 
And late December 
        A#                      F 
Can drag a man down 
                                      Cm       D# 
You feel it deep in your gut 
                       F                  A#                      D# 
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around 
         Cm                                                D#       A# 
In a dark house with the windows painted shut 
 
 
                  D#          
Remember New York  
   F                  A#     Dm 
Staring outside 
                                          D# 
As reckless winter made its way 
  D#              A#              D#              A# 
From Staton Island to the Upper West Side 
   Cm                                         D# 
Whiting out our streets along the way 
 
 
              F                    
And the snow is coming down 
      D#                    A# 
On our New England town 
              F                        Gm 
And it's been falling all day long 
  Gm             F 
What else is new 
  D#           Gm 
What can I do 
       D#   
But sing this valley winter song 
                 A# 
I wrote for you
