Forty winters cold and dark surround you like a beauty mark
  B           F#        B            F#
A tilt of the axis says that time of year
        B             F#              B         F#
And the flush of your cheekbones says no damage here
    B            F#            B         F#
The first time I saw you twas ice on the ground
  B         F#                B        F#
A girl in a green house meant paradise found

For Forty Winters,      forty Winters

Forty winters,      forty winters
Forty winters straight in line were you not my valentine
Orange Blossom’s Sandalwood Oak Moss and Musk
Fragrant the senses from daylight till dusk
You made the simple life fit for a king
And oatmeal by candle light a beautiful thing
For Forty Winters, forty Winters
Forty winters, forty winters

Why can’t I break the spell shake you and make you well
D#m                         F#
What is it blinding me that keeps you from finding me
B                           Bbm
I know you’re in there, you haven’t gone somewhere
D#m                  F#
God only knows about leaving me frozen out
G#m
Darlin’ I can promise you this I wont let you drown in the mist
Forty winters cold and drear could not age you one short year
It’s like your trapped ‘neath a bell jar as big as the earth
And I’m running to reach you for all that I’m worth
I’ll bathe you and feed you and tend to your grace
But don’t make me leave you in such a dark place
I’m drunk on the bitterness sorrow demands
And I know that tomorrow is out of my hands
Until were together I’ll sleep in the snow
I’ll love you forever and that’s all I know about
Forty Winters, forty Winters
Forty winters, forty winters
