Verse 1:
AWhen Winter's shadowy Amaj7fingers first purA/F#sue you down the sA7treet
And your Dboots no longer Dmaj7lie about the Bm7/F#cold around your D7feet
Do you Gspare a thought for Gmaj7/F#Summer whose pE7assage is complete
Whose Amemories lie in Amaj7ruins and whose A/F#ruins lie in heat
Dm Dsus2 E7 Aadd9 E11 A Asus4add6 A Asus4add6
When Winter...... comes howl- ing in.
Verse 2:
When the Awind is singing Amaj7strangely, blowing A/F#music through your A7head
And your Drain-splattered Dmaj7windows make you de-Bm7/F#cide to stay in D7bed
Do you Gspare a thought for the Gmaj7/F#homeless tramp who E7wishes he was dead
Or do you Apull your bed-clothes Amaj7higher, dream of A/F#Summertime instead,
Dm Dsus2 E7 Aadd9 E11 A Asus4add6 A Asus4add6
When Winter...... comes howl--ing in.
Verse 3:
The creeping cold has fingers that caress without permission
And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the condition
Do you spare a thought for the gypsy with no secure position
Who's turned and spurned by village and town and the Magistrate's decision,
When Winter.... comes howling in.
Verse 4:
When the turkey's in the oven and the Christmas presents are bought
And Santa's in his module - he's an American astronaut -
Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts,
Who got busted - just for talking, and befriending the wrong sorts,
When Winter.... comes howling in.
When DmWinter..Dsus2.... E7comes Aadd9howlinE11g in.
