Verse 1:
[A]When Winter's shadowy [Amaj7]fingers first pur[A/F#]sue you down the s[A7]treet
And your [D]boots no longer [Dmaj7]lie about the [Bm7/F#]cold around your [D7]feet
Do you [G]spare a thought for [Gmaj7/F#]Summer whose p[E7]assage is complete
Whose [A]memories lie in [Amaj7]ruins and whose [A/F#]ruins lie in heat
When [Dm]Winter..[Dsus2].... [E7]comes [Aadd9]howl- [E11]ing [A]in[Asus4add6].[A] [Asus4add6]
Verse 2:
When the [A]wind is singing [Amaj7]strangely, blowing [A/F#]music through your [A7]head
And your [D]rain-splattered [Dmaj7]windows make you de-[Bm7/F#]cide to stay in [D7]bed
Do you [G]spare a thought for the [Gmaj7/F#]homeless tramp who [E7]wishes he was dead
Or do you [A]pull your bed-clothes [Amaj7]higher, dream of [A/F#]Summertime instead,
When [Dm]Winter..[Dsus2].... [E7]comes [Aadd9]howl--[E11]ing [A]in[Asus4add6].[A] [Asus4add6]
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 [Dm]Winter..[Dsus2].... [E7]comes [Aadd9]howlin[E11]g in.
