Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G C

I found God in the snowbank blues

D Em

I found peace in the cold

G C

I found out that I don’t need much

D G

To keep me from growin’ old

G C

I found love in the prairie wind

D Em

I found hope in the rain

G C

I found out that I can’t pretend

D G

That I don’t feel the pain

Chorus

C G

And I’ll wait for you in the mornin’ light

D Em

When the frost is on the ground

C G

And I’ll hold you through the dead of night

D G

When not another soul’s around

Verse 2

G C

I found faith in the tail lights fadin’

D Em

On a highway headed west

G C

I found grace in the shadows playin’

D G

On the mountain’s snowy crest

G C

I found truth in a whiskey bottle

D Em

And a heart that’s made of stone

G C

I found out that I’m just a man

D G

Who’s better off alone

Chorus

C G

And I’ll wait for you in the mornin’ light

D Em

When the frost is on the ground

C G

And I’ll hold you through the dead of night

D G

When not another soul’s around

Bridge

Em C

And the pines they whisper low

G D

Things that only I could know

Em C

About the love I left behind

G D

And the peace I hope to find

Verse 3

G C

I found God in the snowbank blues

D Em

I found all I’ll ever need

G C

In the quiet of the winter’s dawn

D G

And the plantin’ of a seed

G C

I found out that this world keeps turnin’

D Em

Whether I am here or not

G C

So I’ll find a spot beside the river

D G

In a peaceful, hidden spot

Chorus

C G

And I’ll wait for you in the mornin’ light

D Em

When the frost is on the ground

C G

And I’ll hold you through the dead of night

D G

When not another soul’s around

Practice tip: Strum lightly on the verses to match the song’s somber mood, and strum a bit more firmly on the choruses to emphasize the emotional lift.
