If you're playing this on a solo acoustic guitar,
it sounds good to alternate the bass notes between
the 5th and 6th strings.

[D]Well they say can't please everyone
[D]But I'm stuck on a winning [Em]streak
[A]Well today there's clarity
[A]And tonight I see to[D]morrow
[D]All at once the winter's here
All the [D]lochs are frozen [Em]over
[A]As I look in back of me
[A]See a shape beside the [D]walkway
[Em]Half of my life I've been watching
[A7]Half of my life i've been [D]waking up
[D]Birds in the sky could [Em]warn me
There's [A]no life like the [A7]snow life
[D]So for now I'll take my time
[D]For now I can't be [Em]bothered
[A]Well I learned a lot of things
[A]And I fudged a lot of [D]numbers
[D]Once again the winter's here
[D]All the lochs are frozen [Em]over
[A]So I look in back of me
[A]See a shape beside the [D]walkway
[Em]Half of my life I've been watching
[A7]Half of my life I've been [D]waking up
[D]Birds in the sky could [Em]warn me
There's [A]no life like the [A7]snow life
