mean old wind
 in A capo 2
 
          G                             C
I was born in the middle of an ice storm
              G                     D
on the longest night of the year
                G    B             C                G
and that frozen rain on the old window pane
             G               D            G  - G7
was the first sound I ever did hear


                   C                    G
won't you stand beside me darling
         C                        G  - D
so I don't have to feel so alone
G          B     C                  G
hold me tight all through the night
               G              D                  G
when that old winter wind begins to blow
 
when the sky is turning grey and cloudy
weatherman is saying ten below
and the icicles drop from every rooftop
that's when that old chill creeps into my bones
 
won't you stand beside me darling
so I don't have to feel so alone
hold me tight all through the night
when that old winter wind begins to blow
 
well it's one thing roamin in the springtime
or in the long lazy days of july
I don't care at all if you leave me in the fall
but in the wintertime I want you by my side
 
won't you stand beside me darling
so I don't have to feel so alone
hold me tight all through the night
when that old winter wind begins to blow
