(The Am-D progression in the verses is played with Am for three bars and D for one) 

verse 1: 

                  E              B7          Am                      D 
Well the cold has a hard time finding me 
     E            B7               Am            D 
Unlike some folks I know 
       E            B7              Am                  D 
Yeah all the men down in union square  
       E            B7           Am 
Are worried about the snow 

Am 
When your pockets fill 
D 
With dollar bills 
Am                            D 
Your heart forgets to eat 
         E                        B7 
Its a wicked thing 
                   E 
It owns this street

           E                                                    
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind 
                                            B7                          E 
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside 

verse 2: 

         E            B7          Am           D 
Well i saw a carried bundle  
        E            B7          Am          D 
that has fingers eyes and toes 
      E          B7                Am      D 
As a father of deception  
     E          B7               Am         
i have never raised a soul 

        Am                          D                       Am                             D 
It’s a purchase captured second hand and cherished more than gold 
        E                                                       B7                        E 
It’s a shelter from that wicked thing that wanders in the night

The water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice 
     E                                                      B7                     E 
To pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
