I was inspired to write this because Andrew Cockburn, MickeM, Tony Miro, Smells And
The Uncreator are thinking of quitting the guitar because of "The Winter Blues". It's
standard 12-bar blues and my first effort, so be kind (and it's hard to write winter songs
when it's actually 27 degrees Celsius here!!!).
The Winter Blues
----------------
I'm sittin' here playin'
My fingers cold to the bone
Well, I'm sittin' here playin'
My fingers cold to the bone
I've got the winter blues
I never felt so alone
The wind keeps a-howlin'
And the sun's gone away
There's ice in my blood
Gotta leave here today
I'm so cold
And the rain's here to stay
Well maybe tomorrow
I'll get in my car
Head for California
Or somewhere just as far
Away from the cold
And this damp forsaken bar
But in the meantime
I'll just shiver and shake
Have a whiskey from the bottle
Man, that ain't hard to take
Keep my fingers movin'
I just gotta get a break
I'm sittin' here playin'
My fingers cold to the bone
Well, I'm sittin' here playin'
My fingers cold to the bone
I've got the winter blues
I never felt so alone
