            D                                                 G
I've got ripplin water to wake me, to the mornin my woman in love,

                             D                    A
And tall pine trees are are pointen us easily to heaven above.

 D                                            C                      G
Blue spruce flamin on the grate in the evenin, takes the chill a way fine,

Em                 B7                   E
Cut the telephone line the stories the same.

           D                                                             G
There's a worn red chair by the window, that we found at a sale down the way,

                                     D                        A
When some old women said that they needed more room for the winter.

      D                                                         C               G
But people like pullen out the stuffin when they sit down, and so it passes the time;

Em                 B7                    E
Cut the telephone line the stories the same.
[Chorus]
   A                               E                                    A
Oooooooh like a bubble on a windy day, start to flutter when i here ya say,

                            B7
That you feel to good to go away

         E                A                                    E
And you make me feel fine, and you've made my world a warmer place,

                                    A                                    B7
By the sparklin of your diamond face------on a frayed spot put a little lace

         E               B7               E             B
And you make me feel fine, warm as the mountain sunshine,

        E                  B7       E                   A--------E A G A
On the edge of the snowline, in a meadow of columbiiiiiiiiiiines
[Verse 2]
D                                                            G
Oh little Jennifer I'd give a penny for whatcha got on your mind,

                         D                      A
Seems  like most of the time your lyin there dreamin...but...

  D                                               C                      G
Maybe in your vision you'll see how are mission is, slightly less than devine,

Em                 B7                    E--------G A
Cut the telephone line, the stories the same.

           D                                                               G
And now ripplin waters flow through pipes in the walls and it's keepin me warm,

                                  D                     A
And the closest I've been to my family for days is my music.

          D                                        C                   G
But the silent stare in the mornin' sky, is like hearin her callin my name

Em                     B7                       E
You cut the telephone line the story might--- change. CHORUS---------E A repeat END
