Corb Lund – Just Me And These Ponies (Guitar)

C
I road up in those hills

          Dm             Dm7
Like when we all used to go

F
Cut a tree like the one

        C
That we used to alone

  Dm
I drag it down off the slopes

F
Trimmed it up in the corner

C
With tinsel and hoped

Am
I ain't heard from my son

Em
And I won't I expect

F
The other's flight

D
At least that's what he said

C
My daughter's takin' the kids again

G
To Maui this year

F
I guess don't blame em'

C
It's pretty cold round here

Gm
Thank Christ for these horses

F
Or I'd be here at home

                          C
Eighty years old spending Christmas alone

Gm7
A blizzard is howling

Dm7
And night it grows near

F
It's just me and the ponies

C
For Christmas this year

C                       Dm
It's bitterly cold with three feet of snow

F
And this wouldn't be home

Dm     Dm7
If the wind didn't blow

C
Can't get out of the yard

Dm
I'm snowed in with the drifts

F                       C
And no one is coming to open these gifts

Am                      D
If I were my father I'd hitch up a team

Em        F                            D
Take the sleigh to the neighbour's for brandy and cream

C
But that world is gone

G
It's all dissappeared

F
It's just me and the ponies

C
For Christmas this year

Gm
Thank Christ for these horses

F
Or I'd be here at home

                          C
Eighty years old spending Christmas alone

Gm
A blizzard is howling

Dm
And night it grows near

F
It's just me and the ponies

C
For Christmas this year

C
This old barn is still standing

Dm7               Dm
Not much longer I think

      F
I can see the north star

            C
Through the holes in the chink

         Dm
And me a bottle of cheer

F
It's just me and the ponies

C
For Christmas this year
