D        D/C#        D/B        D/C
When Winter's shadowy fingers first pur - sue you down the street,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G       G/F#     G/E       G7/F
  And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet,
(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B) C         C/B      A7         A7sus4 A7
   Do  you spare a thought for Summer, whose passage is complete?
     D       D/C       D/B
Whose memories lie in ruins, and whose ruins lie in heat,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm    A7sus4 A7    Em7/B A7/C# D  Dsus4  D Dsus4 D
     When winter...      comes howl - ing in!

D        D/C#       D/B        D/C
When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music through your head,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G       G/F#         G/E       G7/F
  And your rain-splattered windows make you de - cide to stay in bed,
(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B) C           C/B         A7        A7sus4 A7
   Do  you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead,
      D          D/C        D/B
Or do you pull your bed-clothes higher, dream of Summertime instead,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm    A7sus4 A7    Em7/B A7/C# D  Dsus4  D Dsus4 D
     When winter...      comes howl - ing in!

D        D/C#       D/B         D/C
The creeping cold has fingers, that ca - ress without per - mission,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G       G/F#      G/E        G7/F
     And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the con - dition,
(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B) C            C/B     A7       A7sus4  A7
   Do  you spare one thought for the gypsy, with no secure po - sition,
    D            D/C            D/B
Who's turned, and spurned, by village and town, at the Magistrate's decision,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm    A7sus4 A7    Em7/B A7/C# D  Dsus4  D Dsus4 D
     When winter...      comes howl - ing in!



D      D/C#       D/B         D/C
When the turkey's in the oven, and the Christmas presents are bought,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) G       G/F#       G/E      G7/F
     And Santa's in his module, he's an American astro - naut,
(G7)(G7/A)(G7/B) C          C/B       A7          A7sus4 A7
   Do  you spare one thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts,
      D       D/C         D/B
Who got busted just for talking, and be - friending the wrong sorts,
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm    A7sus4 A7   Em7/B A7/C# D  Dsus4  D Dsus4 D
     When winter...      comes howl - ing in!
(D)(D/E)(D/F#) Gm    A7sus4 A7   Em7/B A7/C# D  Dsus4  D Dsus4 D
     When winter...      comes howl - ing in!
