[Verse 1]
E B
Winter wind whining low
E A
Snow covered ground
B E A
Midnight sky as black as ink
E B
Snowflakes like stars falling down
E B
Wayside tavern window light
E A
Beckons unto me
B E A
Tarry by the hearth side bright
E B E
Seek good company
[Chorus]
B E
I stepped in to join the din
B E
So carefree and so loud
A B C# A
Just to lose old Mr. Blues
B E
And mingle with the crowd
[Verse 2]

Blue light glows where the whiskey flows
E A
In amber down my glass
B E A
Burns my lips like your passionate kiss

I can't let you pass

Fiddles play love's melody
E A
Calls me to the dance
B E A
And your eyes like distant stars
E B E
Embrace me with your trance

I stepped in to join the din

So carefree and so loud

Just to lose old Mr. Blues

And mingle with the crowd

E B
Morning sun, new fallen snow
E A
You're warm within my arms
B E A
Catch our breath in frosty air
E B
No strangers to love's charms
E B
Any time you want me
E A
I'll find my way to you
B E A
And the wayside tavern door
E B E
With my old friend Mr. Blues
