[Verse 1]
G5
If I had a mockingbird

For every tear I've shed

The skies would rain with laughter

Every time I raised my head

And every drop would be a tear

That fell upon the ground

'Til the waters rose so high
Am7
That I must surely drown
[Chorus]

And it's cold, cold, cold

And no hint of spring

Yes it's cold, cold, cold

When I used to walk this earth

All the heavens rose above me

Silent as a tomb

Now the skies are filled with noise

The moonlight wears a shroud

Black enough to bury
Am7
Every broken ugly vow

And no hint of spring

Yes it's cold, cold, cold

If I had a mockingbird

Would land with such a spark

Finally there'd be flame enough
Am7
To warm my broken heart
[Chorus]

And no hint of spring
G
Yes it's cold, cold, cold
