WINTER by Rolling Stones from the album “Goat’s Head Soup”

by: Ted Saxlid.

Intro: D A D A D A E D E

And it sure been a cold, cold winter

and the wind ain’t been blowin’ from the south.

It’s sure been a cold, cold winter

and a lotta love is all burned out.

It sure been a hard, hard winter,

my feet been draggin’ ‘cross the ground.

And I hope it’s gonna be a long, hot summer,

and a lotta love will be burnin’ bright.

And I wish I been out in California

when the lights on all the Christmas trees went out.

But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,

and the restoration plays have all gone ’round.

It sure been a cold, cold winter,

my feet been draggin’ ‘cross the ground.

And the fields has all been brown and fallow,

and the springtime take a long way around.

Yeah, and I wish I been out in Stone Canyon

when the lights on all the Christmas trees went out.

But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,

and the restoration plays have all gone ’round.

Alternate between D and A chords for the rest of the song

Sometimes I think about you, baby,

Sometimes I cry about you.

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,

Sometimes I wanna keep you warm.

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,

Sometimes I wanna but I can’t afford you.
