^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ tacet 1st time

Verse 1:

L[G6]ookin' from my window
At the [Fmaj7/G]freshly fallen snow
That s[G6]parkles as it tumbles
U[Fmaj7/G]pon the street below
And the c[Em]rackle of the fire
Is [FaddG]laughing in my ear
And the r[C]oom is warm and sleepy
I w[F]ish you co[C]uld be h[Bb]ere[D]

(repeat second half of intro)

Verse 2:

Sundays in this town
There's not a lot for me to do
I've been listening to some records
But my thoughts have turned to you
I try to read the paper
But the words aren't very clear
And I know there's something missing
I w[F]ish you co[C]uld be h[Bb]ere
I w[F]ish you co[C]uld be h[Bb]ere[D]

(repeat intro)

(key change to Ab - acoustic guitars remain in G (capo I))

I keep l[Ab6]istening for your footsteps
Or yo[Gbmaj7/Ab]ur key turned in the door
I s[Ab6]ure could use your company
But[Gbmaj7] we've been through that before
The w[Fm]inter's going to last
A[GbaddAb] long time this year
I've got l[Db]ots of empty time to kill
I w[Gb]ish you c[Db]ould be h[Cb]ere
I w[Gb]ish you c[Db]ould be h[Cb]ere
I w[Gb]ish you c[Db]ould be h[Cb]ere[Eb]

(repeat intro (in Ab) to fade)
