                               C 
I was born in the middle of an ice storm 
       G                    D 
On the longest night of the year 
         G      B           C          G 
And that frozen rain on the old window pane 
        D             G             G7 
Was the first sound I ever did hear 



          C               G 
Won't you stand beside me darling 
     C                      G     D 
So I don't have to feel so alone___ 
G       B     C               G 
Hold me tight all through the night 
                     D              G 
When that old winter wind begins to blow 



Instrumental: G  C  G  D  G  B  C  G  D  G 


                                  C 
When that sky is turning grey and cloudy 
       G                   D 
Weatherman is saying ten below 
        G       B         C         G 
And the icicles drop from every rooftop 
                           D              G     G7 
That's when that old chill creeps into my bones 



          C               G 
Won't you stand beside me darling 
     C                      G     D 
So I don't have to feel so alone___ 
G       B     C               G 
Hold me tight all through the night 
                     D              G 
When that old winter wind begins to blow 



Instrumental: G  C  G  D  G  B  C  G  D  G 


                                   C 
Well it's one thing roaming in the springtime 
          G                   D 
Or in the long lazy days of July 
        G       B          C                
I don't care at all if you leave me in the fall 
           G            D              G    G7 
But in the wintertime I want you by my side 



          C               G 
Won't you stand beside me darling 
     C                      G     D 
So I don't have to feel so alone___ 
G       B     C               G 
Hold me tight all through the night 
                     D              G 
When that old winter wind begins to blow 
          G       B     C               G 
Won't you hold me tight all through the night 
                     D              G 
When that old winter wind begins to blow
