Mary Chapin Carpenter – Hot Buttered Rum (Guitar)

F
When chimney smoke hangs still and low

Bb
Across the stubbled fields of snow

F
And angry skies reach down and seize

C
The sorry blackened bones of trees

F                              Bb
In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come

F                                   C            F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum

F
When dreary Christmas decorations

Bb
Line the streets and filling stations

F
And dime store Santas can't disguise

C                     Am
Their empty hands and empty eyes

F       Am     Dm     F        Bb
In the dead of winter when the tinsel angels come

F                                   C            F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum

F
When gloves and boots and woolen parkas

Bb
Bring cold comfort to the heart

F
And bitter memories freeze the tongue

C                           Am
And songs of love are left unsung

F       Am      Dm    F        Bb   F        Bb
In the dead of winter when the cold feelings come

F                                   C            F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum

F       Am      Dm    F        Bb   F        Bb
In the dead of winter when the cold feelings come

F               Dm                   C            F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum
