      C                     F     C
It's cold and it's getting cold - er
       F                 Am          C    G  G7
it's gray and white and winter all around.
    C                     F     C
And oh, I must be getting old - er
    F                  Am              G
and all this snow is try'n' to get me down
           F                         C
There's a fire in the corner slowly dying
 G                                     C   C7
sometimes I just don't feel like goin' on
     F                                   C
And yet I know it's more than worth the waiting
      D7               D9             G7
for another chance to see the summer sun
                  C   F   C   D7   G   
Come on shine on me
           F                         C
There's a fire in the corner slowly dying
 G                                     C   C7
sometimes I just don't feel like goin' on
     F                                   C
And yet I know it's more than worth the waiting
      D7                              G
for another chance to see the summer sun
                C    F   G   C
Come on shine on me
