Intro:  G     -     Bm     - C  Cadd9hC - C  Cadd9hC      (x4)
(Cadd9 : x30010. Hammer-on middle finger to change from Cadd9 to C)

Em          C             G
  Hey sweet Annie, don't take it so bad
D                              A7
 you know the summer's coming soon
           C               D            Bm             C
though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
        Am                    C/B       C
and it seems the sun is hiding from the moon

G            C             D          G
 Your daddy told you when you were a girl
     B7                                   C
the kind of things that come to those who wait
    C         G          C            G
so give it a rest girl, take a deep breath girl
     Am                     C/B  C
and meet me at the Bay State   tonight

----------
Chorus:

      D                    C                G
The snow is coming down on our New England town
    D                          Am    
and it's been falling all day long
  C           D     C           Em
what else is new?, what could I do?
    C                             D       G
I wrote a valley winter song to play for you
----------

G Bm C C  (x2)

Em           C            G 
  And late December, can drag a man down
D                          A7
 you feel it deep in your gut
C               D                 Bm              C  
 short days and afternoons spent pottering around
      Am                         C/B     C
in a dark house with the windows painted shut

G          C         D         G
 Remember New York staring outside
B7                             C
 as wreckless winter made its way
  C         G             C           G
from Staten Island to the Upper West Side
Am                       C/B      C
whiting out our streets along the way

----------
Chorus 2:

      D                    C                G
The snow is coming down on our New England town
    D                          Am    
and it's been falling all day long
  C           D      C        Em
what else is new?, what can I do?
     C                               D        G
but sing this valley winter song I wrote for you
