        D                 A         D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
                          A        D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
  G                  
I've got no place to go –
                           D
All the trains are running slow
        D                    A            D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

  D                       A               D
It's getting late and all the bars are closed
  D                       A               D
It's getting late and all the bars are closed
   G                 
I'm so cold I can't think –
                     D
I could really use a drink
   D                  A                   D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

                               A                  D
Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
                               A                  D
Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
     G
How the freezing winds they blow
                           D
When the mission doors are closed
     D                       A           D
Now I'm walking through your town in the snow

  D           A        D
I carry my home on my back
  D           A         D
I carry my home on my back
        G            
But the police only frown
                     D
Every time I lay it down
                            A                 D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

                           A             D
There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
                           A              D 
There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
     G
They're cooking up down there
                       D
And I've nothing left to share
                      A                   D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

               A        D
Maybe I can rustle up a job
               A        D 
Maybe I can rustle up a job
         G
But there's nothing I can do
                          D  
My best working days are through
                        A               D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

                           A           D
Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
                           A           D
Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
  G
I can see my golden years
                              D
Shining through these golden tears
    D                     A             D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

                          A            D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
                          A            D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
   G
I've got no place to go –
                         D    
All the trains are running slow
                             A           D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
