Em          C             G

  Hey sweet Annie, don't take it so bad

D                              A7

 you know the summer's coming soon

           C               D            Bm             C

though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand

        Am                               C

and it seems the sun is hiding from the moon

G            C             D          G

 Your daddy told you when you were a girl

     Bm                                     C

the kind of things that come to those who wait

    C         G          C            G

so give it a rest girl, take a deep breath girl

     Am                        C

and meet me at the Bay State tonight

----------

Chorus:

      D                    C                G

The snow is coming down on our New England town

    D                          Am    

and it's been falling all day long

  C           D     C           Em

what else is new?, what could I do?

    C                                     G

I wrote a valley winter song to play for you

----------

G Bm C C  (x2)

Em           C            G 

  And late December, can drag a man down

D                          A7

 you feel it deep in your gut

C               D                 Bm              C  

 short days and afternoons spent pottering around

      Am                                   C

in a dark house with the windows painted shut

G          C         D         G

 Remember New York staring outside

Bm                              C

 as wreckless winter made its way

  C         G             C           G

from Staten Island to the Upper West Side

Am                                 C

whiting out our streets along the way

----------

Chorus 2:

      D                    C                G

The snow is coming down on our New England town

    D                          Am    

and it's been falling all day long

  C           D      C        Em

what else is new?, what can I do?

     C                                       G

but sing this valley winter song I wrote for you
