Hank Williams – At The First Fall Of Snow (Guitar)

D                                    G
I talked with a stranger, so sad and forlorn,

                  D                            A7
His garments were sack cloth, all tattered and torn.

   D                              G
He told me a story, of sorrow and woe,

                  D              A             D
His heart went to Heaven, at the first fall of snow.

D                                  G
He spoke of his angel, a dear baby girl,

               A                        D
He loved every footstep, he loved every curl.

                                       G
But she went to Heaven, just one year ago,

                D               A             D
The angels came for her, at the first fall of snow.

D                                        G
He still had the dolly, that she used to love,

              A7                       D
He held and caressed it, and gazed up above.

                                            G
He whispered: "My darlin', you're waiting I know, 

                    D             A             D
I'll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow."

D                                            G
And there as I listened, my eyes filled with tears, 

               A                    D
I knew she was part of, his happier years.

                                           G
His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low,

                 D            A7            D
"I'll be with my baby, at the first fall of snow."

                                       G
I just couldn't tell him, how I felt inside.

             A7   A                   D
I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide,

                                        G
He smiled as we parted, cause he didn't know,

                 D            A             D
That we lost our baby, at the first fall of snow.
