Some times in win ter

Some times in win ter

for (Cmaj7)got ten mem o (Bm7)ries re mem ber (Bbmaj7)you be hind the (Am7)trees with leaves that (Gmaj9)cried.

By the win dow once I wait ed for you.

Laugh ing slight ly, you (Bm)would (A)run.

Trees a lone would (D)shield us in the mea dow,

mak ing love in the eve (Bm)ning (A)sun.

Now you’re (G5)gone, (C)girl,

and the lamp posts call your name.

I can (G5)hear (C)them

in the (A5)spring of fro zen (D5)rain.

Now you’re (Gmaj7)gone, girl,

and the (A5)time’s slowed down ’til (D5)dawn.

It’s a (Bm)cold room,

and the (C)walls ask where you’ve (A)gone.
