Pick a learning view.
Snow can wait, I for got my mit tens;
wipe my nose,
get my new boots on.
I get a lit tle warm in my heart when I think of win ter;
I put my hand in my fa ther’s glove.
I run off where the drifts get deep er;
sleep ing beau ty,
it trips me with a frown.
I hear a voice: “You must learn to stand up
for your self, ’cos I won’t al ways be a round.”
He says: (Gb)when you gon na make up your mind?
(Gb)When you gon na love you as much as I do?
(Gb)When you gon na make up your mind?
’Cos (Cb)things are gon na (Gb)change
so fast.
All the white (Ebm)hors es are (Ebm7)still in bed.
I tell you that I’ll (Gb)al ways
want you near.
You say that things
change,
my
dear.
Boys get dis cov ered as win ter melts,
flow ers com pet ing for the sun.
Years go by and I’m here still wait ing,
with er ing where some snow man was.
Mir ror, mir ror, where’s the cry stal pal ace?
But I on ly can see my self
skat ing a round the truth who I am.
But I know, Dad,
the ice is get ting thin.
(Gb)When you gon na make up your mind?

About “Winter”
- Can I sing "Winter" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
- Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Winter" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Cb, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Winter" by Tori Amos in?
- The backing track is in Cb at 60 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Winter" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Winter"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Winter", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Winter" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
- Can I download the accompaniment for "Winter"?
- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "Winter" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in Cb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
- Can I slow "Winter" down to learn the words and chords?
- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
