B5
Two frozen rivers, with ice like boulders
D5
Cracking past Portage and Maine
B5
Dark downtown buildings, one glowing tavern
             D5  
Are breaking loose from winter's chains


CHO
    A5                      G5           D5   
The winter wind whistling, the outside air
    A5                         G5          D5
And inside it's like we found summer somewhere
   A5                  G5             D5
My car is all rusted, from roadcrew salt
    B5        A5        D5       B5  A5  D5
And doing the Winnipeg waltz

B5
Railroads and water, Assiniboine and red
    D5
The reasons why we're here
    B5
The continent's center, the middle of it all
        D5 
Hangin' out and drinkin' beer


CHO
     A5                    G5            D5
It's too cold to snow now but we don't care
    A5                         G5          D5
And inside it's like we found summer somewhere
   A5                 G5             D5
My car is all rusted from roadcrew salt
    B5        A5        D5      B5  A5  D5
And doin' the Winnipeg waltz

  B5
I love you more in the frozen winter
  D5
I think about you beneath your clothes
     B5
Lets have one more drink in this crowded tavern
     D5
I'll kiss your chilly lips and your frozen nose

CHO
    A5                     G5           D5
The winter wind whistlin' the outside air
    A5                         G5          D5
And inside it's like we found summer somewhere
          A5                      G5         D5
You won't turn to a pumpkin or a pillar of salt
     B5        A5        D5      B5  A5  D5
From doin' the Winnipeg waltz
