Intro: 
A B E C#m 
A B E G# 

verse 1 
A         G#           C#m 
The noble pine stands alone 
F#                B 
No one to see how tall it’s grown 
       E 
In its frozen home 
      A             B 
So it stands in the snow 
        E           C#m 
And the north winds blow 
       A           B            C#m  G# 
It’s a cold little life here in Winters 

verse 2 
A             G#       C#m 
And there’s a boy all alone 
F#                 B 
No one to care how tall he’s grown 
       E 
In his frozen home 
      A             B            Esus4 
So he stands on his own like the pine 

           D 
And as the snow falls down 
         A 
It never makes a sound 
         F#m           B 
Sure, it seems to fly around 
         E              A 
But it’s headed for the ground 
C             B        E 
This winter’s gonna be long, yeah 
C             B        E  G# 
This winter’s gonna be long 

verse 3 
A          G#             C#m 
And in his dreams, he can fly 
F#              B 
A daring genius hero guy 
       E 
With a dad nearby 
       A 
But he wakes, 
            B 
And there’s snow 
        E           C#m 
And the north winds blow 
       A           B            C#m  G# 
It’s a cold little life here in Winters 

verse 4 
A          G#            C#m 
So will he live like the pine? 
F#                    B 
Perfectly still, just killing time, 
     E 
In a slow decline 
           A       B            Esus4 
Or will he come to be something more? 

                D 
Maybe adventure lies 
           A 
Beyond the snowy skies 

F#m                  B 
With a purpose and a friend 
        E               A 
Waiting just around the bend 
C              B        E 
Till then he’s gotta be strong, yeah 
C               B        E 
‘Cause winter’s gonna be long
