The Blizzard

C       G    F     C
Colorado, Colorado

C         F            C   F
When the world leaves you shivering

F                G
And the blizzard blows

C             G     F            
When the snow flies and the night 
 C
falls

           Am
There's a light in the window

       F            G
And a place called home

F                 Am
At the end of the storm

Am
One night on the mountain I was 
headed for Estes

When the roads turned to ice and it 
F          G
started to snow

Am
Put on the chains in a whirl of 
white powder

                               F   
Halfway up to Berthoud near a diner
      G
 I know

C
And the light burned inside, shining
 down through the snowfall

G                        
God, it was cold, and the 
F           G
temperature droppin'

C
Went in for coffee and I shivered as
 I drank it

G                         F
Warming my hands in the steam as it 
rose

Am
Sitting there at the counter was a 
dark-headed stranger

Am                   F           
Me and the owner and him keeping 
G
warm

Am
Nodded hello and I said, "It's a 
cold one.

Am                          F    
Looks like there might be a 
       G
blizzard tonight,"

     C
And "Yes," said the owner, "There's 
a big storm on the mountain.

G                               F
Good thing we're open; we could 
           G
be here for hours.

C
There's nothing for miles, and it's 
too late to get to Denver.

G                      F   
Better not try for the summit 
      G
tonight."

C            G
And the snow fell

F             C
And the night passed

C      F             Am
And I talked to the strangers

Am     F        G  Am
As the blizzard blew

Am
Me and the stranger, you know I 
don't talk to strangers

I'm a private sort of person, but a 
F             G
blizzard is a blizzard

    Am
And somehow I found myself saying 
you'd left me

                         F         
Telling him everything I wanted to 
G
say to you.

    C
You know how it is when you can talk
 to a stranger

G                         F      
Someone you're quite sure you'll 
          G
never see again

C
Soon we were talkin' and laughin' 
and drinkin'.

          G                     F 
He said, "You must know you're too
           G
 good for him."

C            G
And the snow fell

F             C
And the night passed

C      F             Am
And I talked to the strangers

Am      F        G  Am
And the blizzard blew

Am
The stranger said, "Love, it can cry
 you a river.

Am                       F       
Me, I'm a loner, 'cause I can't 
       G
take the heartache.

Am
Sometimes I'm a fighter when I get 
too much whiskey.

Am                              F
Here, have a little whiskey; 
              G
pretend you don't give a damn.

C
My cabin's up here on the side of 
the mountain.

G                       F  
You can go up there and sleep 
               G
through the blizzard."

C
I put on my parka, said goodbye to 
the owner,

G                                 
Followed the stranger through the 
F           C
snow up the mountainside.

Am
Woke in the morning to the sun on 
the snow

Am                   F           
My car was buried in six feet of 
G
snowdrift

Am
They dug me out, just the owner and 
the stranger

Am                         F     
Sent me on my way when the 
       G
snowplow had been by

        C
And the roads were all clear, and 
the sun on the mountains

G                           
Sparkled like diamonds on the 
  F            G
Peak-to-Peak Highway

C
Then I knew that I would get over 
you

Dm                      G        
Knew you could leave me, but 
             C
you'd never break me

Colorado, Colorado

C         F            C   F
When the world leaves you shivering

                 G
And the blizzard blows

C             G     F            
When the snow flies and the night

falls

           F
There's a light in the window

And a place called home
