Intro:
C F G C F C G
Verse 1:
C F G C
The winter's flaking snow is brushin' through the wiry trees
F C G
I stuff my hands down deep inside my coat
F G C F
I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
C F G
And faces that still warm me with their glow
C F G C
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
F C G
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
F G C F
The sound of one man walking through the snow can break your heart
C F G
And stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go
Refrain:
F Em
And Christmas Eve can kill you
F G C
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
Verse 2:
C F G C
The icy air I'm breathin's all that keeps me on my feet
F C G
I feel like I've been walking all my life
F G C F
A car goes runnin' by; the man don't even turn his head
C F G
Guess he's busy bein' Santa Claus tonight
C F G C
The saddest part of all is knowin' if I switched with him
F C G
I'd leave him stumbling ragged by the road
F G C F
I'd ride that highway to the arms of my sweet family
C F G
And forget about the stranger in the cold
Refrain:
F Em
And Christmas Eve can kill you
F G C
When you're tryin' to hitch a ride to anywhere
