Cold As Christmas In The Middle Of The Year

Elton John

Text File

 This is pretty similiar to the one found on "jumbo jimbo's" except that version has the 
placement quite wrong

Standard Tuning
intro: F  C  D/E  C

G			  Em7
We still sit at separate tables
         C		   G
And we sleep at different times
         D 		        Em
And the warm wind in the palm trees
         C
Hasn't helped to change our minds

G			Em7
It was the lure of the tropics
         C		       G
That I thought might heal the scars
         D 		 Em
Of a love burned out by silence
         C
In a marriage minus heart

       B7
And I call the kids on the telephone
			Em
Say there's something wrong out here
	C		    G
It's July but it's cold as Christmas
        D
In the middle of the year

      Am/E
The temperature's up to ninety five
		    Am    Am/G		    F
But there's a winter look in your mother's eyes
	  C				E/G#
And to melt the tears there's a heat wave here
    F			C				  G		   F
So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year

G				   Em7
I dreamed of love in a better climate
         C		   G
And for what it's really worth
         D 		        Em
I put faith in the star we followed
         C
To this Caribbean surf

G				   Em7
But there's an icy fringe on everything
         C		G
And I cannot find the lines
         D 		        Em
Where's the beauty in the beast we made
         C
Why the frost in the summertime
