Tracy Grammer - Winter When He Goes
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: G+G D MajorD
N.C. G+G
As the sun is to the city
Gmaj7Gmaj7
In the endless weeping winter
C majorC
So is joy to me, and pity
E minorEm D MajorD
When he leaves me falsely tender
G+G
Like the true love's knot we tethered
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Plastic ivy 'round the portal
C majorC
For to frame the spring forever
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Though the blizzard took the mortal holy rose
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
It's always winter when he goes
G+G
As a matter of convenience
Gmaj7Gmaj7
We don't speak of dying gardens
C majorC
As a woman of heart and lenience
E minorEm D MajorD
I make liberal with my pardons
G+G
I am generous with kindness
Gmaj7Gmaj7
He with smiles and exaltations
C majorC
Though he binds his wounds in silence
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I my own in practiced patience lest he know
D MajorD C majorC
It's always winter when he goes
D MajorD G+G
It's always winter when he goes
E minorEm C majorC B minorBm
He collects the twigs and briars
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I stack them up for fire
D MajorD C majorC
But it's chilly for the burning
E minorEm C majorC B minorBm
And he really slumbers in the straw
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I hold out for the thaw
D MajorD C majorC
For the seasons won't be turning
G+G
As I'm writing you this letter
Gmaj7Gmaj7
The bluestem's running riot
C majorC
And daisies break their fetters
E minorEm D MajorD
And the bees will not lay quiet
G+G
If you find him where he's dancing
Gmaj7Gmaj7
With his lover or his jailer
C majorC
Say in April's splendid mansion
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I lay broken by his trailer in the snow
D MajorD C majorC
It's always winter when he goes
D MajorD C majorC
It's always winter when he goes
D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC
It's always winter when he goes
