Bm
Two frozen rivers, with ice like boulders
D
Cracking past Portage and Maine
Bm
Dark downtown buildings, one glowing tavern
             D  
Are breaking loose from winter's chains


CHO
    A                      G           D   
The winter wind whistling, the outside air
    A                         G          D
And inside it's like we found summer somewhere
   A                  G             D
My car is all rusted, from roadcrew salt
    Bm        A        D       Bm  A  D
And doing the Winnipeg waltz

Bm
Railroads and water, Assiniboine and red
    D
The reasons why we're here
    Bm
The continent's center, the middle of it all
        D 
Hangin' out and drinkin' beer


CHO
     A                    G            D
It's too cold to snow now but we don't care
    A                         G          D
And inside it's like we found summer somewhere
   A                 G             D
My car is all rusted from roadcrew salt
    Bm        A        D      Bm  A  D
And doin' the Winnipeg waltz

  Bm
I love you more in the frozen winter
  D
I think about you beneath your clothes
     Bm
Lets have one more drink in this crowded tavern
     D
I'll kiss your chilly lips and your frozen nose

CHO
    A                     G           D
The winter wind whistlin' the outside air
    A                         G          D
And inside it's like we found summer somewhere
          A                      G         D
You won't turn to a pumpkin or a pillar of salt
     Bm        A        D      Bm  A  D
From doin' the Winnipeg waltz
