Am   Bm     Am7    Bm Am        Bm     Am7    Bm
Ridin'the storm out   waitin' for the thaw out

      Am            Bm
On a full moon night

       Am7    Bm       Am  Bm  Am7  Bm
In the Rocky Mountain winter

Am       Bm      Am7 Bm Am         Bm     Am7  Bm
My wine bottle's low    watchin' for the snow

            Am         Bm
I've been thinking lately 

  Am7        Bm             Am
Of what I'm missing in the city

       D               Am
And I'm not missing a thing

 D                      Am
Watching the full moon crossing the range

F  G        Am       G  F G        Am       G
Ridin' the storm out   ridin' the storm out

F  G        Am       G  F G        Am  
Ridin' the storm out   ridin' the storm out

Am  Bm Am7    Bm Am        Bm    Am7    Bm
Lady beside me   she's there to guide me

Am          Bm Am7         Bm         Am    Bm Am7 Bm
She says that alone we've finally found home

Am             Bm    Am7       Bm
The wind outside is frightening

         Am               Bm       Am7         Bm
But it's kinder than the lightning life of the city

       Am            Bm
It's a hard life to live 

Am7           Bm            Am
But it gives back what you give

       D               Am
And I'm not missing a thing

 D                      Am
Watching the full moon crossing the range

Ridin' the storm out   ridin' the storm out

F  G        Am       G  F G        Am  
Ridin' the storm out   ridin' the storm out
