Tom: E
E
It was a long winter
A B E A B
Spring sure took its sweet time
E
Such a long winter
A B E A B
I almost lost my mind
[Chorus]
A
It felt like my prayers
Abm
Got frozen in mid air
Gbm B
Stuck somewhere up in the clouds
E A B
It was a long winter
E A B
But we're alright now
[Verse 2]
E
It was a long hard lesson
A B E A B
I guess I had something to learn
E
Like some kind of long slow baptism
A B E A B
I must have character to burn
[Chorus 2]
A
I kept holding on to see
Abm
A little green on that cypress tree
Gbm B
And feel the first gulf breeze from the south
E A B
It was a long winter
E A B
but we're alright now
[Bridge]
Gbm E
There were some dark heavy days
G D
The darkest of our lives
Gbm E
Some dark heavy days
Dbm
But we survived
B
and we survived
[Instrumental]
E A B x4
[Verse 3]
E
It was a long winter
A B E A B
Thank God you were by my side
E
'Cause when my long shot hopes grew dimmer
A B E A B
You kept them alive
[Chorus 3]
A
Now you're asleep inside
Abm
and I'm looking up at a starry sky
Gbm
Smilin' at the warm night
B
that finally came back around
E A B
It was a long winter
E A B
It was a long winter
E A B
It was a long winter
E A B
But we're alright now
E A B
Yeah we're alright now
E A B
We're alright now
E A B
We're alright now
