Now the winter has come eclipsing the sun
F C G D
That has lighted my love for some time
F C G D Em
And a cold wind now blows not much tenderness flows
F C G
From the heart of someone feeling so tired
D Bm(maj7) Bm E7
And he feels so alone with no love of his own
D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D
So sa-ad, so ba-ad, so sa-ad, so ba-ad
F C G D Em
While his memory raced with much speed and great haste
F C G D
Through the problem of being there
F C G D Em
In his heart at arm's length held within its great strength
F C G
To ward off such great despair
D Bm(maj7) Bm E7
But he feels so alone with no love of his own
D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D
So sa-ad, so ba-ad, so sa-ad, so ba-ad
A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D
So sa-ad, so ba-ad, so sa-ad, so ba-ad
F C G D Em
Take the dawn of the day and give it away
F C G D
To someone who can fill the part
F C G D Em
Of the dream we once held now it's got to be shelved
F C G
It's too late for to make a new start
D Bm(maj7) Bm E7
But he feels so alone with no love of his own
D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D
So sa-ad, so ba-ad, so sa-ad, so ba-ad
A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D A Em7 A D
