Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

 She only seems to need me now and then

 I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

 But she's mine alone till springtime comes again

When springtime comes I know that she'll be leavin'

 When those friends of hers start callin' her uptown

 So I live and wait for Shelly's winter season

 When her troubled moments bring her back around

 Chorus + solo:

 (up to )

When Shelly's painted world turns cold and stormy

It's then she finds the need to come around

To these arms of mine she knows are always waiting

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

Chorus
