Winter Song
                                              Capo on 7th


When Winter's shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street
       D               Dmaj7          D7                  D
And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet
           G            Gmaj7           Em7               G7
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete
          C                Cmaj7          A7
Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat
          D            Dmaj7            D7
When winter..... comes howling in.
       Gm          A7           D


When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music thru your head
           D               Dmaj7             D7              D
and your rain splattered windows make you decide to stay in bed
           G              Gmaj7             Em7              G7
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead
          C                     Cmaj7               A7
Or do you pull the bedclothes higher, dream of summertime instead ?
           D                  Dmaj7               D7
When winter..... comes howling in.
       Gm          A7           D


The creeping cold has fingers, that access with permission
       D                Dmaj7         D7            D
And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the condition
       G            Gmaj7           Em7             G7
Do you spare a thought for the gypsy with no secure position
         C                     Cmaj7      A7
Who's turned and spurned by village and town, at the magistrate's decision ?
       D                    Dmaj7                        D7
When winter..... comes howling in.
       Gm          A7           D


When the turkey's in the oven, and the Christmas presents are bought
            D            Dmaj7           D7                     D
And Santa's in his module, he's an American astronaut
      G            Gmaj7              Em7        G7
Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts,
          C                Cmaj7             A7
Who gut busted just for talking, and befriending the wrong sorts ?
          D              Dmaj7          D7
When winter..... comes howling in.
       Gm          A7           D
When winter..... comes howling in.
       Gm          A7           D
