[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E]
When [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ _ _ winter's shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street
[A] And your boots no [G#m] longer lie [A] about [F#m] the cold around [C#] your feet
Do [D] you spare a thought [F#m] for someone [B] whose passage is complete
_ [E] Whose memories lie [E] in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat
[Am] And winter _ _ comes _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ howling [E]
in _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music through your hair
And [A] your rain splattered windows make you [F#m]
decide to [C#] stand back
Do [D] you spare a thought for [F#m] the homeless [Bm] trump [B] who wishes he was dead
Or do [E] you pull your bedclothes high and [C#m] dream of [E] summertime instead
_ [Am] When winter _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ comes howling
[E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ The creeping cold has fingers [C#m] that caress without [E] permission
_ [A] And mystic crystal [C#m] _
snowdrops [F#m] only aggravate the [A]
condition
Do [D] you spare one thought for the gypsy [B] with no secure position
Who's [E] turned and spurned by village and town at the magistrate's decision
When [Am] winter _ _ comes _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [D#] _ [B] _ [E] howling
When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ the turkey's in the oven and [C#m] the Christmas presents [E] are bought
[A] And Santa's in [C#m] his module, he's an [F#m]
American [A] astronaut
Do [D] you spare one thought [F#m] for Jesus [B] who had nothing but his thoughts
[E] Who got busted just for talking and befriending the wrong souls
When [Am] winter _ _ comes _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
howling
[E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] When winter _ _ comes _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] howling _ _ _ _ _
