Three Chords of Love

Three Chords of Love
(R.C. O’Leary / Effron White)

When I went out this morning
Snow was on the ground
It reminded me of the beauty of
You in your wedding gown
So white with a veil of white
Over eyes of blue
To live in them forever
Anything I would do

Twenty-four below
I felt the north wind rip
I pulled up my collar
And gave my saw a grip
By dusk I’d cut those oaks
Made three stacks and then
I was singing for my love
As I hauled a few logs in

Chorus:
Three chords of love for a cold winter day
Three chords of love for a long loving night
Three chords stacked in a simple country way
Three chords of love for my bride

Instrumental Break…

When night comes to our window
Your eyes outshine the moon
An orange fire flickers
Shadows dance around the room
Strummin’ my guitar
To the crackle of the flame
Singin’ love to you
Is such an easy refrain

Repeat Chorus Twice; Repeat last line of last chorus twice
