Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lindisfarne/winter_song_tab_ver_3.html ]
A Amaj7 A/F# A7
When Winter's shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street
D Dmaj7 Bm7/F# D7
And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet
G Gmaj7/F# E7
Do you spare a thought for Summer whose passage is complete
A Amaj7 A/F#
Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat
Dm Dsus2 E7 Aadd9 E11 A Asus4add6 A Asus4add6
When Winter...... comes howl- ing in.
Verse 2:
A Amaj7 A/F# A7
When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music through your head
D Dmaj7 Bm7/F# D7
And your rain-splattered windows make you de-cide to stay in bed
G Gmaj7/F# E7
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead
A Amaj7 A/F#
Or do you pull your bed-clothes higher, dream of Summertime instead,
Dm Dsus2 E7 Aadd9 E11 A Asus4add6 A Asus4add6
When Winter...... comes howl--ing in.
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.
Dm Dsus2 E7 Aadd9 E11
When Winter...... comes howling in.
Outro (much the same as the Intro!)
