VERSE 1:
The [F#] nights are [C#] cold-[F#]-er [B] now [A#m] Maybe I should close the [B] door
And anyway the [F#] snow
has [C#] covered all your [D#m] footsteps
and [B] I can follow you no [C#] more
VERSE 2:
The [F#] fire still [C#] burns [F#] at [B] night
My [A#m] memories are warm and [B] clear
But everybody [F#] knows
it's [C#] hard to be a-[B]-lone
at this [C#] time of [F#] year [F# open]
CHORUS 1:
It was [F#] only a winter's [C#7] tale [F#] Just another winter's [B] tale
and [F#] why should the world take [B] notice
of [F#] one more love that's [C#7] failed
CHORUS 2:
It's a [F#] love that could never [C#7] be
Though it [F#] meant a lot to you and [B] me
On a [F#] world wide scale, we're [C#] just
another [C#7] winter's [F#] tale
VERSE 3: [F#] While I [C#] stand [F#] a-[B]-lone
A [A#m] bell is ringing far a-[B]-way
I wonder if you [F#] hear
I [C#] wonder if you're [D#m] listening
I [B] wonder where you are to-[C#]-day
VERSE 4:
Good [F#] luck, I [C#] wish [F#] you [B] well
For [F#] all that wishes may be [B] worth
I hope that love and [F#] strength
are [C#] with you for the [B] length
of your [C#] time on [F#] Earth [F# open]
