10 Degrees And Getting Colder chords

CAPO: 4th Fret

[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1]

He was standing by the highway

With a sign that just said 'Mother'
When he heard a [F]driver [C]coming
About a [D7]half a mile a[G]way

[VERSE 2]
And he [C]held the sign up higher

So no decent soul could miss it

It was ten degrees or colder
Down by [G]Boulder Dam that [C]day


[VERSE 3]

He was raised up in Milwaukee

Though he never was that famous
He was just a [F]road mu[C]sician
To the [D7]taverns he would [G]go

[VERSE 4]
Singing [C]songs about the rambling

The loving girls and gambling

How the world fell on his shoulders
Back in [G]Boulder I don't [C]know


[INSTRUMENTAL:] [C] [F] [Csus4] [C] [F] [G7]

[VERSE 5]
It was [C]out in Arizona

That he heard the lady listening
To each word that [F]he was [C]singing
To each [D7]line that he would [G]write

[VERSE 6]
So he [C]sat down by her table

And they talked about the weather

98.6 and rising
Down by [G]Boulder Dam that [C]night


[BRIDGE]
And she told him[F] she would take him [Csus4]
For a ride in the [F]morning sun
Back in Boulder he had told her [Csus4]
"I don't know when I had a [F]better friend" [G7]

[VERSE 7]
Now he's [C]traded off his Martin

But his troubles are not over
For his feet are [F]almost [C]frozen
And the [D7]sun is sinking [G]low

[VERSE 8]
Won't you [C]listen to me brother

If you've ever loved your mother
Please pull off [F]on the [C]shoulder
If you're [D7]going Milwaukee [G]way

[OUTRO]
It's ten de[C]grees and getting colder
Down by [G]Boulder Dam [C]today
