Introduction: D/E G Asus D/E G
D/EG
January's always bitter
AsusD/EGadd9/D
But Lord, this one beats all
D/EG
The wind ain't quit for weeks now
AAAsus-A
And the drifts are ten feet ta------ll
D/EGA
I've been all night drivin' heifers
D/EC/D
Closer in to lower ground
D/EA
Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'
D/EG/D
'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down
D/EG
Charlie Barton and his family
AsusD/EGadd9/D
Stopped today to say goodbye
D/EG
He said the bank was takin' over
A-Asus-AA
The last few years were just too dr-----y
D/EGA
And I promised that I'd visit
D/EC/D
When they found a place in town
D/EA
Then I spent a long time thinkin'
D/E
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down
CHORUS:
GADGEmm
Lord, please shine a light of hope
ADDsus
On those of us who fall behind
GADGEmm
And when we stumble in the snow
DA-Asus-A
Could you help us up while there's still t---i--me
D/EG
Well, I don't mean to be complainin' Lord
AsusD/EAsus
But you've always seen me through
D/EG
And I know you got your reasons
AAAsus-A
For each and every thing you do------
DGA
But tonight outside my window
Bm - C/D
There's a lonesome, mournful sou----nd
D/EA
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
D/EG
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down
D/EA
Oh Lord, keep me from bein'
N.C.
The one the wolves pull down
D/E G A Asus D/E-h->D

In the Chorus, the chord progression sounds much better if you
use a G bar chord before the F#m. In the ending, strum a D/E
chord, but right after you hit the final string, use a hammer-
on in the second fret to get the final D chord.
This is a pretty easy song, but most of the chords don't sound
right if you strum instead of pick. You'll have to listen to
the song carefully to get what string order. Maybe someday I'll
Tab out the whole song...
