[Verse 1]

     D                Dmaj7            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               Dmaj7            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.
