Winter Song  ( Alan Hull )  from:  Fog on the Tyne
-----------

Comment:
Following is "Winter Song" for "Easy Guitar".
Actually it's done with a Capo on 7th fret. You'll find this version
at the bottom after the verses. It's as close as possible to the
originally one, but still not perfect.


1.)
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


2.)
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


3.)
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


4.)
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
