Dave Gunning - When The Cold Weather Comes
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   C    G    C    F    C   G   F    C(2x)
When the cold weather Gcomes and the Cearth begins to Ffreeze
With a Cpale yellow glow and Gstubble Fin the Cfields
A lonely scarecrow Gwatching with Cnothing left to Fdo
But Cwait when the Gcold Fweather Ccomes
Then comes the falling Gsnow that will Csettle in to Fstay
Then the Cwind blows it around but Gwon't blow Fit aCway
Beneath the frosty Gblanket in the Cmidwinter Fbleak
Fast aCsleep when the Gcold Fweather Ccomes
INTERLUDE:   C    G    C    F    C   G   F  C  
When the cold weather Gcomes, this Ctown will grow Fquiet
Then the Cwhisper of the wind will push a Ghole Fthrough the Csilence 
Then we'll gather in the Gkitchen, play the Ctunes a little Flonger 
The wood burns Chotter when the Gcold Fweather Ccomes
CHORUS:
'Cause there's time to think aFbout the Cseasons come and goneG  
And the Amone that lies aChead that will Gspring up from the Cground 
You may Fhave a chance to get some Crest 
You might Feven catch your Gbreath 
N.C.                       C  
When the cold weather comes
INTERLUDE:   C    G    C    F    C   G   F    C    F    C    G    C    F    C    G  C  
We'll know when it's Gright, we'll Cknow it's the Ftime
When we Cfeel like we're missing the Gworld Fgoing Cby
When cabin fever Gswells, there's a Cway to break Ffree
And time to Cleave when the Gcold Fweather Ccomes
We'll enter the Gdoors to the Cpubs of the Ftowns
Where it's Cbetter to be early, aGhead Fof the Ccrowd
And all those girls stand in Gline with Cbarely nothing Fon 
They're the toughest Cones, when the Gcold Fweather Ccomes
CHORUS:
So raise your glass Fto the Cseasons come and goneG  
And the Amone that lies aChead that will Gspring up from the Cground 
You may Fhave a chance to get some Crest 
You might Feven catch your Gbreath 
N.C.                       C  
When the cold weather comes

Dave Gunning - When The Cold Weather Comes

CAPO: 2nd Fret

C G C F C G F C

INTRO: (2x)

G C F

When the cold weather comes and the earth begins to freeze

C G F C

With a pale yellow glow and stubble in the fields

G C F

A lonely scarecrow watching with nothing left to do

C G F C

But wait when the cold weather comes

G C F

Then comes the falling snow that will settle in to stay

C G F C

Then the wind blows it around but won't blow it away

G C F

Beneath the frosty blanket in the midwinter bleak

C G F C

Fast asleep when the cold weather comes

C G C F C G F C

INTERLUDE:

G C F

When the cold weather comes, this town will grow quiet

C G F C

Then the whisper of the wind will push a hole through the silence

G C F

Then we'll gather in the kitchen, play the tunes a little longer

C G F C

The wood burns hotter when the cold weather comes

CHORUS:

F C G

'Cause there's time to think about the seasons come and gone

Am C G C

And the one that lies ahead that will spring up from the ground

F C

You may have a chance to get some rest

F G

You might even catch your breath

When the cold weather comes

INTERLUDE:

G C F

We'll know when it's right, we'll know it's the time

C G F C

When we feel like we're missing the world going by

G C F

When cabin fever swells, there's a way to break free

C G F C

And time to leave when the cold weather comes

G C F

We'll enter the doors to the pubs of the towns

C G F C

Where it's better to be early, ahead of the crowd

G C F

And all those girls stand in line with barely nothing on

C G F C

They're the toughest ones, when the cold weather comes

CHORUS:

F C G

So raise your glass to the seasons come and gone

Am C G C

And the one that lies ahead that will spring up from the ground

You may have a chance to get some rest
