[Intro]
G Em G Em
G
[Verse 1]
G
I was going through hell
D
And the wind it was not blowin’
C
All the people had burned up
G D
I thought “oh no, I’ll just keep going”
G
Up in the air
D
Where the sky was white and snowing
Em
It was December around Christmas
C D
And a mighty wind was blowing
[Chorus]
G D
I don’t mind that cold, cold, wind
C G
As long as it blows me away
D C
I wanna wake up with the sun and that cold wind on my face
G
Minnesota
[Verse 2]
G
I was going through hell
D
And it was much like you would think
C
There were killers on the run
G D
And there was water nobody could drink
G
So if your life ain’t adding up
D
Maybe you could just keep going
Em
Where that sky is white
C D
And a mighty wind is blowing
[Chorus]
G D
I don’t mind that cold, cold, wind
C G
As long as it blows me away
D C
I wanna wake up with the sun and that cold wind on my face
D
Won’t you come along with me
G
To Minnesota
[Bridge]
D
On that river
C G
On that river I call home
D
Oh black waters
C
Of the Mississippi turned to stone
N.C.
I don’t mind that

I don’t mind that cold, cold, wind
C G
As long as it blows me away

I wanna wake up with the sun and that cold wind on my face
