Em G D Am Em G D

[Em]Been snowin all day when[G]I got home
The[D]fire was out the[Am]cabin was cold
And I[Em]poured some stale[G]coffee from the[D]pot
The[Em]longer I waited the[G]snow got higher
So I[D]split some wood and[Am]built a fire
If she[Em]told me she�d be[G]gone I[D]forgot

I�d seen it snow that hard before
I couldn�t see the cabin from the stable door
And that mare she always rode was in the stall
The law couldn�t come till the weather broke
My heart was poundin in my throat
And I searched and called her name till it was raw

I never should have brought her here
Livin�s rough this time of year
Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done
Sometimes she gazed across the plains
With a look that I couldn�t name
And I�d wonder if she stay till springtime comes

I found her on the first warm day
The rain had washed the snow away
Went for wood and lost her way back home
And I ain�t the kind believes in ghosts
But some nights I get pretty close
When the North Dakota winter moans
When the North Dakota winter moans
