ETake me F#mback those summer days
AWinter’s making my Bold bones ache
EI’ll retF#murn when the weather’s changed
AI’ll see you in the BDiamond State again
EWell I gF#mot religion and the old north wind
AAll the colours camBe, the colours went
EI swore F#mto get right with my family and friends
AGave my bottle to tBhe preacher, start over again, singing
ETake me F#mback those summer days
AWinter’s making my Bold bones ache
EI’ll retF#murn when the weather’s changed
AI’ll see you in the BDiamond State again
EWell helF#ml hath no fury like a woman scorned
AShe took all the whBiskey and all the corn
EShe set F#mfire to my house, and took off in a storm
AEven after she’s goBne she’s still keeping me warm
ETake me F#mback those summer days
AWinter’s making my Bold bones ache
EI’ll retF#murn when the weather’s changed
AI’ll see you in the BDiamond State again
EWell the F#mroof caved in and the house came down
AThere’s a hole in mBy tent, and one in the ground
EAnd the F#mplaces I’ve been ain’t the place I am now
ASo watch where you’Bre stepping, I’ll see you around
ETake me F#mback those summer days
AWinter’s making my Bold bones ache
EI’ll retF#murn when the weather’s changed

EOh take F#mme back those summer days
AThis winter’s makinBg my old bones ache
EAnd I’ll F#mreturn when the weather’s changed
