When Wi[D]nter's shadowy f[D/C#]ingers first pur - [D/B]sue you down the s[D/C]treet,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G G/F# G/E [cb]G7/F[/cb]
And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet,
[(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B)] Do you sp[C]are a thought for S[C/B]ummer, whose p[A7]assage is complete?[A7sus4] [A7]
Whose mem[D]ories lie in r[D/C]uins, and whose r[D/B]uins lie in heat,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm A7sus4 A7 [cb]Em7/B[/cb] A7/C# D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
When winter... comes howl - ing in!
When the wi[D]nd is singing st[D/C#]rangely, blowing [D/B]music through your [D/C]head,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G G/F# G/E [cb]G7/F[/cb]
And your rain-splattered windows make you de - cide to stay in bed,
[(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B)] Do you sp[C]are a thought for the h[C/B]omeless tramp who wi[A7]shes he was dead,[A7sus4] [A7]
Or do you pu[D]ll your bed-clothes h[D/C]igher, dream of Sum[D/B]mertime instead,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm A7sus4 A7 [cb]Em7/B[/cb] A7/C# D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
When winter... comes howl - ing in!
The cre[D]eping cold has fi[D/C#]ngers, that ca - [D/B]ress without per - mi[D/C]ssion,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G G/F# G/E [cb]G7/F[/cb]
And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the con - dition,
[(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B)] Do you sp[C]are one thought for the [C/B]gypsy, with [A7]no secure po - [A7sus4]sition,[A7]
Who's tu[D]rned, and spurned, by vi[D/C]llage and town, at the Mag[D/B]istrate's decision,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm A7sus4 A7 [cb]Em7/B[/cb] A7/C# D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
When winter... comes howl - ing in!
When the tur[D]key's in the [D/C#]oven, and the Chr[D/B]istmas presents are b[D/C]ought,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G G/F# G/E [cb]G7/F[/cb]
And Santa's in his module, he's an American astro - naut,
[(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B)] Do you sp[C]are one thought for J[C/B]esus, who had no[A7]thing but his thoughts[A7sus4],[A7]
Who got bus[D]ted just for t[D/C]alking, and be - fri[D/B]ending the wrong sorts,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm A7sus4 A7 [cb]Em7/B[/cb] A7/C# D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
When winter... comes howl - ing in!
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm A7sus4 A7 [cb]Em7/B[/cb] A7/C# D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
When winter... comes howl - ing in!
