A D G
and he’s got one good song to sing
G
but like my Daddy said
C
it’s in your heart not your head
A D G
and you got to sing and sing and sing
G
theres a window in the wall

looking out on it all
A D G
leavin fears and tears and troubles alone
G
theres a fire in the stove
C
keepin out the cold
A D G
warmin wine and winters and babies and homes
