[INTRO]
C F G C F C G

[VERSE 1]
C F G C
The winter's flaking snow is brushing through the pine wood trees
F C G
I stuck my hands down deep inside my coat
F G C F
I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
C F G
And faces that still warm me with their glow
[VERSE 2]
C F G C
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
F C G
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
F G C F
The sound of one man walking through the snow can break your heart
C F G
But stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go
[CHORUS]
F C
And Christmas Eve can kill you
Dm G C
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
[VERSE 3]
C F G C
The icy air I'm breathing is all that keeps me on my feet
F C G
I feel like I've been walking all my life
F G C F
A car goes running by, the man don't even turn his head
C F G
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight
[VERSE 4]
C F G C
The saddest part of all is knowing if I switched with him
F C G
I'd leave him stumbling ragged by the road
F G C F
I'd ride that highway to arms of my sweet family
C F G
And forget about the stranger in the cold
[CHORUS]
F C
And Christmas Eve can kill you
Dm G C
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
[VERSE 5]
C F G C
And as I walk I'm singing to myself "O Silent Night"
F C G
Hoping I can save those other souls
F G C F
Oh, God, forgive the man that drives right by the other man
C F G
Have pity on the stranger in the cold
[CHORUS]
F C
'Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
Dm G C
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
