C                F           G7                       C 
I don't mind the winter rain when I'm hurting I can't stand the pain 

                F        G7       C 
Just as long as I can be close to Linda 

                 F               G7                 C

                F        G7       C 
Just as long as I can be close to Linda 


    F               G7              F               C

F               G7            F               G7 
All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear 

        C 
When my Linda's near 


                    F          G7                     C

                 F           G7       C 
Standing here in place of me close to Linda 


    F               G7              F               C 
For she is warm and she is real and oh how good she makes me feel 

F               G7            F               G7 
All my troubles disappear and I am strong and free from fear 

        C 
When my Linda's near 


                    F             G7                   C 
So I've just got to make her know no matter where I go she too must go 

                 F          G7          C 
The only place I want to be is close to Linda
