Fountains of Wayne – Valley Winter Song (Ukulele)

Em          C             G
  Hey sweet Annie, don't take it so bad

D                              A7
 you know the summer's coming soon

           C               D            Bm             C
though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand

        Am                    C/B       C
and it seems the sun is hiding from the moon

G            C             D          G
 Your daddy told you when you were a girl

     B7                                   C
the kind of things that come to those who wait

    C         G          C            G
so give it a rest girl, take a deep breath girl

     Am                     C/B  C
and meet me at the Bay State   tonight

      D                    C                G
The snow is coming down on our New England town

    D                          Am    
and it's been falling all day long

  C           D     C           Em
what else is new?, what could I do?

    C                             D       G
I wrote a valley winter song to play for you

Em           C            G 
  And late December, can drag a man down

D                          A7
 you feel it deep in your gut

C               D                 Bm              C  
 short days and afternoons spent pottering around

      Am                         C/B     C
in a dark house with the windows painted shut

G          C         D         G
 Remember New York staring outside

B7                             C
 as wreckless winter made its way

  C         G             C           G
from Staten Island to the Upper West Side

Am                       C/B      C
whiting out our streets along the way

      D                    C                G
The snow is coming down on our New England town

    D                          Am    
and it's been falling all day long

  C           D      C        Em
what else is new?, what can I do?

     C                               D        G
but sing this valley winter song I wrote for you
