Winter Winds

                              D
The ranges are covered with a purple gown,
                              Em   Asus  A
As I ride through the hills today.
    D         D/F#          G
The breeze is chilly as the sun goes down,
       D         A               D
And we know that Winter's on its way.

D
When the days grow shorter and the night grows long,
                              Em   Asus  A
I'll dream beside my campfire then.
D                         G
Leisurely strummin' on my old guitar,
         D                A        D
When the Winter winds are blowin' again.

         G                        D
When the Winter winds are blowin' from the west,
        E7                   A
And the pale moon rises over mountain crest.
     D
I'll cover my pony with a rug of fur,
                       A
Roll up in my blankets then.
    D         D7           G
For Summer is over and the nights grow long,
        D                A        D
And the Winter winds are blowin' again.

    D
The silence is broken by a dingoes call,
                         Em    Asus  A
Way up in the mountain's high.
    D                        G
The cattle are bedded by the waterfall,
       D              A             D
To the rangeland I'll never say goodbye.

D
When the days grow shorter and the night grows long,
                              Em    A
I'll dream beside my campfire then.
D                         G
Leisurely strummin' on my old guitar,
         D                A        D
When the Winter winds are blowin' again.
