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

_ _ _ It's Ian Thompson, the bass.
First of his period, lovely job.
