Do you spare a thought for Summer, whose passage is complete?

Whose memories lie in ruins, and whose ruins lie in heat,

G minorGm A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7 
Em7/BEm7/B A7/C# D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
When winter... comes howl - ing in!

When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music through your head,
(D MajorD)(D/ED/E)(D/F#D/F#) G+G G/F# G/EG/E G7/F
And your rain-splattered windows make you de - cide to stay in bed,
(G7G7)(G7/A)(G7/B) C majorC C/BC/B A7A7 A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead,
D MajorD D/C D/B
Or do you pull your bed-clothes higher, dream of Summertime instead,
(D MajorD)(D/ED/E)(D/F#D/F#) G minorGm A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7 Em7/BEm7/B A7/C# D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD

The creeping cold has fingers, that ca - ress without per - mission,
(D MajorD)(D/ED/E)(D/F#D/F#) G+G G/F# G/EG/E G7/F
And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the con - dition,
(G7G7)(G7/A)(G7/B) C majorC C/BC/B A7A7 A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Do you spare one thought for the gypsy, with no secure po - sition,
D MajorD D/C D/B
Who's turned, and spurned, by village and town, at the Magistrate's decision,
(D MajorD)(D/ED/E)(D/F#D/F#) G minorGm A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7 Em7/BEm7/B A7/C# D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD

When the turkey's in the oven, and the Christmas presents are bought,
(D MajorD)(D/ED/E)(D/F#D/F#) G+G G/F# G/EG/E G7/F
And Santa's in his module, he's an American astro - naut,
(G7G7)(G7/A)(G7/B) C majorC C/BC/B A7A7 A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
Do you spare one thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts,
D MajorD D/C D/B
Who got busted just for talking, and be - friending the wrong sorts,
