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