Capo 1st fret, drop-D

INTRO [Dm] [F5] , [C] [Dm] , x3
[Bb] , [C] , [Dm] ...
[VERSE 1]
[Dm]The roof is leaking and the [C/D]wind is how[Dm]ling
[Dm]Kids are crying 'cos the [Bb]sheets are so [C]cold
[Dm]I woke this morning found my [C/D]hands were fro[Dm]zen
[Dm]I've tried to fix the fire, but you [Bb]know the [C]damn thing's too [Dm]old

[VERSE 2]
[Dm]It's been months now since we [C/D]heard from our Ma[Dm]ry,
[Dm]I wonder if she ever [Bb]made the [C]coast
[Dm]She and her young man, they [C/D]both moved out [Dm]there
[Dm]But I sure hope they write,[Bb] just to [C]let us [Dm]know

[MIDDLE 8]
And [Bb]me, I'[Gm]m getting [F]stronger [Dm]by the min[C]ute
[Bb]My wife's ex[Gm]pecting, but I [F]hope she [Dm]can wait[C]
[Bb] 'Cos this [Gm]winter looks like it's [F]gonna be an[Dm]other bad[C] one
[Bb] But [Gm]spring'll soon be her[F]e, [Dm]oh oh [Cadd2]
God I hope it's not lat[Dm]e

[VERSE 3]
[Dm]Ma and Pa lived here, and [C/D]theirs before [Dm]them
[Dm]Tried their hardest to [Bb]make it a [C]home
[Dm]Seems so long now since [C/D]they passed o[Dm]ver
[Dm]Hope my children'll try [Bb] to [C]make it their [Dm]own

[VERSE 1]
[Dm]The roof is leaking and the [C/D]wind is how[Dm]ling
[Dm]Kids are crying 'cos the [Bb]sheets are so [C]cold
[Dm]I woke this morning found my [C/D]hands were fro[Dm]zen
[Dm]I've tried to fix the fire, but you [Bb]know the [C]damn thing's too [Dm]old

[MIDDLE 8]
And [Bb]me, I'[Gm]m getting [F]stronger [Dm]by the min[C]ute
[Bb]My wife's ex[Gm]pecting, but I [F]hope she [Dm]can wait[C]
[Bb] 'Cos this [Gm]winter looks like it's [F]gonna be an[Dm]other ba[C]d one
[Bb] But [Gm]spring'll soon be [F]here,[Dm] oh oh[Cadd2]
God I hope it's not lat[Dm]e
