Play with capo at the 3rd fret.
The chords are named as if they were played without capo.
The song has two different times:
* 4/4 in the chorus
* 3/4 in the verse, but with the one bar after the Gadd6-chord played 4/4 again
C x32010
F/D xx0565
Gadd6 320030
Fmaj7 x33210
Am x02210
C F/D C F/D C
They packed us up in bo- xes, wooden bo- xes
Gadd6 C
And sent us home
F/D C F/D C
Underneath the wil- low, near the ri- ver
Gadd6 C
By my headstone
If you do some picking like this, you get
quite close to how it is played:
C F/D C F/D C Gdd6 C (do some picking stuff)
|0---------5-----|0----------5----|0---------------|0---------------|
|---1------------|---1------------|---1-----3------|----------------|
|--0-------------|--0-------------|--0-------------|----------------|
|-2--------0-----|-2---------0----|-2--------------|----------------|
|3---------------|3---------------|3---------------|----------------|
|----------------|----------------|---------3------|3---------------|
Chorus:
Am Fmaj7 C
And all you do is carry on
play the "carry on"-part like this:
C Am
|0---------------|0---------------|
|1----0-1 3 1 ---|1---------------|
|0---------------|2---------------|
|2---------------|2---------------|
|3---------------|0---------------|
|----------------|----------------|
..on.. ...when all you do
It's snowing now it's winter, river's frozen
And still you come
I can almost see you, and touch you
My pretty one
When all you do is carry on

When Steve plays this song live it is a bit different than
the original song on the Jack Frost album. Here are the chords
for the album version:
It's just two groups of chords, changed quickly - meaning that
you only have to pull one finger on and off one string:
D5 xx0235
Dsus4 xx0233
Em9/A x02032
Em7/A x02030
D-chords Em-chords
Remember when I told you
D-chords Em-chords
You were pretty lost
On Steve's Acoustic & Intimate, there are a few more chords, and Steve
plays the D-chords in the verse a bit different:
Dsus2 xx0230 (instead of D5)
Em7/D xx0030 (instead of Dsus4)
Steve plays the end of the chorus sometimes like this:
Em7/G 3x0030
Em7/F# 2x0030
Em7 02x030
Dsus2.. Em7/G
All I have, all I need
Em7/F# Em7
All I got is providence
This is a song for real beginners: the chords are just G F C

[Verse 1]
G D/F#
Yeah, and somebody said, if you really want to get ahead
C A
You can make your bed, but you don't have to lie in it
G D/F#
So keep your bad advice, I listened to it once or twice
C A
I'll just throw the dice and wait a minute

They may be wrong, but I'll be strong
And you belong with me
[Verse 2]
G D/F#
Yeah, and somebody sang, I don't believe in this whole shebang
C A
Then Lutherans rang, and I felt the power
G D/F#
I opened up my arms, walked out underneath the palms
C A
And the car alarms went off every hour
[Chorus]

G D/F#
Yeah, and somebody wrote, that it might have been a joke
C A
Or just a mistake, at least that's what I reckon
G D/F#
I threw the windows open, it didn't matter that, I was broken
C A
I'm still hoping for something better every second
