Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

[Intro]
F Bb F
[Verse 1]
F
When chimney smoke hangs still and low
Bb
Across the stubbled fields of snow
F
And angry skies reach down and seize
C
The sorry blackened bones of trees
F Bb
In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come
[Refrain]
F C F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum
F Bb F
[Verse 2]
F
When dreary Christmas decorations
Bb
Line the streets and filling stations
F
And dime store Santas can't disguise
C Am
Their empty hands and empty eyes
F Am Dm F Bb
In the dead of winter when the tinsel angels come
[Refrain]
F C F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
F
When gloves and boots and woolen parkas
Bb
Bring cold comfort to the heart
F
And bitter memories freeze the tongue
C Am
And songs of love are left unsung
F Am Dm F Bb F Bb
In the dead of winter when the cold feelings come
[Refrain]
F C F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum
[Ending]
F Am Dm F Bb F Bb
In the dead of winter when the cold feelings come
F Dm C F
You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum
