Or in the Glong lazy days of JuDly
I don't Gcare at Ball if you Cleave me in the fall
But in the Gwintertime I Dwant you by my GsideG7  
CHORUS:
Won't you Cstand beside me Gdarling
So I Cdon't have to feel so aGlone__D_
GHold me Btight Call through the Gnight
When that old winter Dwind begins to Gblow
Won't you Ghold me Btight Call through the Gnight
When that old winter Dwind begins to Gblow
