Prompt / Lyrics
Snow’s fallin’ down on Beale Street, boots slippin’ on the ice, I got a worn-out Strat and a heart that ain’t playin’ nice. Neon angels flicker, singin’ low in red and blue, Christmas Eve is comin’, but I’m still missin’ you. Pre-Chorus But that blues fire keeps burnin’, Even in this winter storm… Chorus So I play—oh I play through the snowstorm tonight, Let the six-strings howl, let the moon shine bright. Got a bottle for warmth, and a prayer for the light— Yeah, I’m bluesin’ down Beale Street tonight. Street drums poundin’ rhythm, like a reindeer on the run, Pavement full of footprints, folks rushin’ home one by one. But I’m married to the music, she never turns me away, And she keeps me movin’ forward on this lonely holiday. Cold wind’s cuttin’ deeper, But the groove keeps me alive… (Chorus) So I play—oh I play through the snowstorm tonight… (Bridge) Let the snow fall heavy, let the church bells ring, Someone somewhere’s smilin’ while the lonely singers sing. But I ain’t givin’ up now—I still got one more verse, This Christmas blues is holy, even when it hurts. Yeah I play—oh I play through the snowstorm tonight… Fade with ad-lib guitar wails Main Riff (Verse) – E minor blues bo Chorus Power Riff Guitar Solo (12-bar)
