        D                      A
And it sure been a cold, cold winter
         D                                A
and the wind ain't been blowin' from the south.
      D                      A
It's sure been a cold, cold winter
       D                 A
and a lotta love is all burned out.

    D                      A
It sure been a hard, hard winter,
     D                             A
my feet been draggin' 'cross the ground.
       D                              A
And I hope it's gonna be a long, hot summer,
       E        D                  E
and a lotta love will be burnin' bright.

Chorus:
       D                      E
And I wish I been out in California
          D                                     E
when the lights on all the Christmas trees went out.
            D                         E
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,
         D                                E
and the restoration plays have all gone 'round.

It sure been a cold, cold winter,
my feet been draggin' 'cross the ground.
And the fields has all been brown and fallow,
and the springtime take a long way around.

Chorus:
Yeah, and I wish I been out in Stone Canyon
when the lights on all the Christmas trees went out.
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,
and the restoration plays have all gone 'round.

Sometimes I think about you, baby,
Sometimes I cry about you.
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,
Sometimes I wanna keep you warm.
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,
Sometimes I wanna but I can't afford you.
