D Em G D Em A
It was Gplain to see she didn't Aknow how to ski
She said, " Dwe don't get much F#msnow in San Jo- Gse"
She said, "I D/Ggot confused, ended Aup on the blues
I was Dhopin' someone like F#myou would come my Gway"
I said, " BmLet's sit here and enjoy the view
Let you Ccatch you breath for a minute or two"
[Chorus]
The Dair is thin in Jackson Hole
When the Emsun goes down, it's F#mbitter cold
Un- Gless you can charm somebody into Akeepin' you warm
Find a Dhole in the wall with a cover band
EmBaileys and beer, yeah, you F#mlaugh and dance
And you Gsing along to Cevery song
And fall Elike the snow in DJackson HoleEm  A  
Spent a Gcouple of night drownin' Ain her eyes
Gettin' Dlost between those F#mtan lines from the Gcoast
All the D/Gwords we said, all the Apromises
I Dwas sure she'd F#mnever let me Ggo
But your Bmheart can play tricks on your mind
When your Cmakin' love at the timber line
[Chorus]
The Dair is thin in Jackson Hole
When the Emsun goes down, it's F#mbitter cold
Un- Gless you can charm somebody into Akeepin' you warm
Find a Dhole in the wall with a cover band
EmBaileys and beer, yeah, you F#mlaugh and dance
And you Gsing along to Cevery song
And fall Elike the snow in DJackson HoleEm  G  
FShe had to leave on Sunday, Cshe almost missed her air plane
GWe kissed goodbye and I said I'll Dcall you first thing in the morning
FWhen I woke up on Monday, CI dialed the number she gave
EThat old man answered, said, "Son, Ano one lives here by that name"
[Chorus]
The Dair is thin in Jackson Hole
When the Emsun goes down, it's F#mbitter cold
Un- Gless you can charm somebody into Akeepin' you warm
Find a Dhole in the wall with a cover band
