10 Degrees And Getting Colder

Gordon Lightfoot

Tom original: C Capotraste: Sem capotraste Acordes: 6

INTRO:

VERSE 1:

He was standing by the highway
With a sign that just said 'Mother'
                F      C
When he heard a driver coming
        D7           G
About a half a mile away

VERSE 2:

       C
And he held the sign up higher
So no decent soul could miss it
It was ten degrees or colder
        G                C
Down by Boulder Dam that day

VERSE 3:

He was raised up in Milwaukee
Though he never was that famous
              F      C
He was just a road musician
       D7               G
To the taverns he would go

VERSE 4:

        C
Singing songs about the rambling
The loving girls and gambling
How the world fell on his shoulders
        G               C
Back in Boulder I don't know

INSTRUMENTAL:

C    F    Csus4    C  F    G7

VERSE 5:

       C
It was out in Arizona
That he heard the lady listening
                  F      C
To each word that he was singing
        D7                 G
To each line that he would write

VERSE 6:

      C
So he sat down by her table
And they talked about the weather
98.6 and rising
        G                C
Down by Boulder Dam that night

BRIDGE:

                F                    Csus4
And she told him she would take him
                  F
For a ride in the morning sun
                                 Csus4
Back in Boulder he had told her
                           F                G7
"I don't know when I had a better friend"

VERSE 7:

         C
Now he's traded off his Martin
But his troubles are not over
                 F      C
For his feet are almost frozen
        D7             G
And the sun is sinking low

VERSE 8:

          C
Won't you listen to me brother
If you've ever loved your mother
                F      C
Please pull off on the shoulder
          D7              G
If you're going Milwaukee way

OUTRO:

           C
It's ten degrees and getting colder
        G           C
Down by Boulder Dam today
