Over The Rhine - Snow Angel

okay , this is my first one , so if you think its a little rough around the edges , please comment!

C Em
once upon a winter

E G
it seems so long ago

C Em
my one and only love and i

A D
fell down upon the snow .

( basically , thats the chord structure , it only changes during the chorus . )

and as the dusk was falling ,
from our gray and goose – down sky ,
we heard the old cathedral bells
ring out our lullaby
chorus :

C Em
snow angel , snow angel

E G
someday i gonna fly

C Em
this cold and broken heart of mine

A D
will one day wave goodbye

C Em
goodbye to this cruel wicked world

E G
and all the tears iv’e cried

C Em
snow angel , snow angel

E D G
i’ll meet you in the sky

the rumors of a distant war
called my true loves name
he packed his leather suitcase
and spoke no word of blame
we walked awhile together
i tried to hide my fear
he told me not to be afraid
and whispered in my ear

chorus

they brought my love home from the war
in a cart pulled by white mules
the christmas bells rang out that day
oblivious as fools

and as the snow began to fall
i kissed his frozen face
they told me in his woolen coat
his last few words were placed

chorus
