Verse 1:
D Ddim D7
When Winter`s shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street
G Bm Em G7
And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet
C Em A
Do you spare a thought for Summer whose passage is complete
D Ddim D7
Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat
Gm G A (D Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D)x2
When Winter.... comes howling in.

Verse 2:
When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music through your head
And your rain-splattered windows make you decide to stay in bed
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead
Or do you pull your bed-clothes higher, dream of Summertime instead,
When Winter.... comes howling 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.
Gm G A Intro....
When Winter.... comes howling in.



p.s. I consider this to be one of the most potent Christian songs ever
written. I am not Christian myself, but the sentiments expressed apply
universally to all Masters, their followers` attitudes, and their
remembrance... particularly Verse 4...
