Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
   C majorC
When winter's shadowy fingers
    Dm7Dm7
First pursue you down the street
     C majorC
And your boots no longer lie
      Dm7Dm7
About the cold around your feet
     C majorC
Do you spare a thought for summer
    Dm7Dm7
Whose passage is complete
    C majorC
Whose memories lie in ruins
    Dm7Dm7
And whose ruins lie in heat?
   C majorC   E minorEm
When winter
Dm7Dm7        C majorC   Dm7Dm7
 Comes howling in

Verse 2:
     C majorC
When the wind is singing strangely
    Dm7Dm7
Blowing music through your head
     C majorC
And your rain splattered windows
     Dm7Dm7
Make you decide to stay in bed
    C majorC
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp
    Dm7Dm7
Who wishes he was dead?
     C majorC
Oh, pull up your bedclothes higher
     Dm7Dm7
Dream of summertime instead
    C majorC  E minorEm
When winter
Dm7Dm7        C majorC   Dm7Dm7
  Comes howling in


Verse 3:
    C majorC
The creeping cold has fingers
    Dm7Dm7
That caress without permission
    C majorC
And mystic crystal snowdrops
    Dm7Dm7
Only aggravate the condition
     C majorC
Do you spare one thought for the traveller
   Dm7Dm7
With no secure position
     C majorC
Who's turned and spurned by village and town
      Dm7Dm7
At the magistrate's decision?
    C majorC   E minorEm
When winter
Dm7Dm7        C majorC   Dm7Dm7
  Comes howling in

Verse 4:
      C majorC
When the turkey's in the oven
     Dm7Dm7
And the Christmas presents are bought
   C majorC
And Santa's in his module
     Dm7Dm7
He's an American astronaut
     C majorC
Do you spare one thought for Jesus
     Dm7Dm7
Who had nothing but his thoughts
     C majorC
Who got busted just for talking
     Dm7Dm7
And befriending the wrong sorts?
    C majorC   E minorEm
When winter
Dm7Dm7        C majorC
  Comes howling in
    Dm7Dm7
When winter
   C majorC    E minorEm  Dm7Dm7
When winter
Dm7Dm7
comes,
Dm7Dm7       C majorC
comes howling in
