COLD RIVER WALTZ
Christopher Shaw

1. In the heart of the forest you can stand 'neath the pines,
Feel the time-honored battle of a trout on the line,
See the view from the high peaks 'bove the timber line,
Dancing to the Cold River Waltz.

/ C - F C / F Dm Fm C / C C7 F Dm / G G7 C G /

CHORUS: Ah-dee-ay, ah-diddly-aye-doe, hear the woods as they sing
As we step to the tune of an old fiddler's strings,
Glide 'cross the floor like a hawk on the wing,
Dancin' to the Cold River Waltz.

2. You can hear all the stories the old timers can tell,
Hear the wind in the pines, hear the old village bell.
You'll be captured forever 'neath the north-country spell,
Dancin' to the Cold River Waltz. CHORUS TWICE.

[From "Adirondack" (1988).]
