Chorus

A D A

I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

D A

She only seems to need me now and then

D A

I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

E A

But she's mine alone 'til springtime comes again

A D A

When springtime comes, I know that she'll be leaving

D A

When those friends of hers start calling her from town

D A

So I live in wait for Shelly's winter season

E A

When her troubled moments bring her back around

Chorus

A D A F

Steel solo

Bb Eb Bb

When Shelly's painted world turns cold and stormy

Eb Bb

It's then she finds the need to come around

Eb Bb

To these arms of mine she knows are always waiting

F Bb

But she'll leave when love has thawed the winter ground

Bb Eb Bb

I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

Eb Bb

She only seems to need me now and then

Eb Bb

I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

F Bb Eb Bb

But she's mine alone 'til springtime comes again
