Judy Collins – The Blizzard chords
Chords:
I've looked everywhere for this song and can't find it, so I finally gave up and figured it out myself. She usually plays it on piano, so I figured it out that way first and then tried it on guitar to see if it still sounded OK. I think it works. If I missed something, please let me know. Capo IC G F CColorado, ColoradoC F C FWhen the world leaves you shiveringF GAnd the blizzard blowsC G F CWhen the snow flies and the night fallsAmThere's a light in the windowF GAnd a place called homeF AmAt the end of the stormAm One night on the mountain I was headed for EstesF GWhen the roads turned to ice and it started to snowAm Put on the chains in a whirl of white powderF GHalfway up to Berthoud near a diner I knowCAnd the light burned inside, shining down through the snowfallG F GGod, it was cold, and the temperature droppin'CWent in for coffee and I shivered as I drank itG FWarming my hands in the steam as it roseAmSitting there at the counter was a dark-headed strangerAm F GMe and the owner and him keeping warmAmNodded hello and I said, "It's a cold one.Am F GLooks like there might be a blizzard tonight,"CAnd "Yes," said the owner, "There's a big storm on the mountain.G F GGood thing we're open; we could be here for hours.CThere's nothing for miles, and it's too late to get to Denver.G F GBetter not try for the summit tonight."C GAnd the snow fellF CAnd the night passedC F AmAnd I talked to the strangersAm F G AmAs the blizzard blewAmMe and the stranger, you know I don't talk to strangersF G I'm a private sort of person, but a blizzard is a blizzardAm And somehow I found myself saying you'd left meF GTelling him everything I wanted to say to you.CYou know how it is when you can talk to a strangerG F G Someone you're quite sure you'll never see againCSoon we were talkin' and laughin' and drinkin'.G F GHe said, "You must know you're too good for him."C GAnd the snow fellF CAnd the night passedC F AmAnd I talked to the strangersAm F G AmAnd the blizzard blewAmThe stranger said, "Love, it can cry you a river.Am F GMe, I'm a loner, 'cause I can't take the heartache.AmSometimes I'm a fighter when I get too much whiskey.Am F G Here, have a little whiskey; pretend you don't give a damn.CMy cabin's up here on the side of the mountain.G F GYou can go up there and sleep through the blizzard."CI put on my parka, said goodbye to the owner,G F C Followed the stranger through the snow up the mountainside.AmWoke in the morning to the sun on the snowAm F GMy car was buried in six feet of snowdriftAmThey dug me out, just the owner and the strangerAm F GSent me on my way when the snowplow had been byCAnd the roads were all clear, and the sun on the mountainsG F GSparkled like diamonds on the Peak-to-Peak HighwayCThen I knew that I would get over youDm G CKnew you could leave me, but you'd never break meC G F CColorado, ColoradoC F C FWhen the world leaves you shiveringGAnd the blizzard blowsC G F CWhen the snow flies and the night fallsFThere's a light in the windowDm GAnd a place called homeF CAt the end of the storm
