Capo on 2nd fret
               
 
Intro: C E Am7 F (2x) 
 
     C         Em        Am7      F 
Oh the bitter winds are coming in,  
    C              Em          Am7    F 
And Im already missing the summer  
  C              Em           Am7     F 
Stockholms cold but Ive been told  
   C          Em                       Am     F 
I was born to endure this kind of weather. 
  C       Em            Am7             F 
When its you I find like a ghost in my mind,  
       C                Em           G 
I'm defeated and I gladly wear the crown  
 
 
C                        F 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June  
Am7                          G 
And you'll be my Graham and my Johnny too  
 C                  F 
No, I'm not asking much of you  
      Am7         G                  C 
Just sing little darling, sing with me 
 
    C       Em         Am7              F 
So much I know, that things just dont grow  
        C     Em                  Am7   F 
If you dont bless them with your patience  
         C            Em      Am7          F 
And Ive been there before, I held up the door  
      C      Em             Am7    F 
For every stranger with a promise 
    C       Em 
But I'm holding back,  
              Am7           F 
That's the strength that I lack,  
       C             Em              Am7   F 
Every morning keeps returning at my window  
        C            Em 
And it brings me to you,  
       Am7               F 
And I won't just pass through,  
        C  Em             G 
But Im not asking for a storm  
 
C                        F 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June  
Am7                          G 
And you'll be my Graham and my Johnny too  
 C                  F 
No, I'm not asking much of you  
      Am7         G                  C 
Just sing little darling, sing with me 
 
(Ponte) 
 
Am       G  F                  C 
And yes, I might have lied to you, 
Am           G        F               C 
You wouldnt benefit from knowing the truth 
Am      G            F       C 
I was frightened but I held back, 
Am     G       F       C 
I need you now at long last 
 
 
C                        F 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June  
Am7                          G 
And you'll be my Graham and my Johnny too.  
 C                  F 
No, I'm not asking much of you  
      Am7         G                  C 
Just sing little darling, sing with me 
 
C                        F 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June  
Am7                          G 
And you'll be my Graham and my Johnny too.  
 C                  F 
No, I'm not asking much of you  
      Am7         G                  C 
Just sing little darling, sing with me 
 
      Am7         G                 C 
Just sing little darling sing with me.
