Winter Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Gm][Gsus4]
[G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]One
winter's shadowy fingers
First pursue you down the street
An[G]d your boots no longer l[Em]ie about
[G]The gold around your feet
[F]Do you[C] spare one thoughtful sum[Em]mer
[A]Whose passage is complete
Whose [D]memories lie in ruins
And whose ruins lie in [G]heat
It's when [Gm]winter [A]comes howl[G]ing [D]in
When the wind is singing strangely
Blowing music through your hair
And [G]your rain splattered windows
[Em]Make [G]you decide to stay in bed[F][G]
[F]Do [C]you spare one thought
[Em]for the homeless train
Who [A]wishes he was dead?
Or do [D]you pull your bedclothes high
And dream of summertime in[G]stead when [Gm]winter
[Gsus4]comes? co[A]mes howling i[G]n[D]
The creeping cold has fingers
That caress without permission
And [G]the misty crystal snow[Em]flakes
[D]Onl[G]y aggravate the condi [F]tio[Dm]n
[F]Do [G]you[C] spare one thought
[Em]for the gypsy
[A]with no secure position?
[D]Who's turned and spurned
my village and town?
Let the magistrate's [G]decision
when [Gm]winter [A]comes howling
[D]in

[Interlude 1]
[D][A]
[Gm][A]
[D]

[Verse 2]
When [D]the turkey's in the oven,
and the Christmas presents bought,
[G]and Santa's in his mod[Em]ule,
[G]he's an American astronaut.
Oh, do [C]you spare one
thought [Em]for Jesus,
who [A]had nothing but his thoughts?
Who got [D]busted just for talking
and befriending the wrong
[G]sorts when win[Gm]ter[A]
Con[D]soling Him
