^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ tacet 1st time
Verse 1:
Lookin' from my window
Fmaj7/G
At the freshly fallen snow
That sparkles as it tumbles
Fmaj7/G
Upon the street below
And the crackle of the fire
FaddG
Is laughing in my ear
And the room is warm and sleepy
I wish you could be here
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 wish you could be here
I wish you could be here
repeat intro
[key change to Ab - acoustic guitars remain in G (capo I)]
I keep listening for your footsteps
Gbmaj7/Ab
Or your key turned in the door
I sure could use your company
But we've been through that before
The winter's going to last
GbaddAb
A long time this year
I've got lots of empty time to kill
I wish you could be here
I wish you could be here
I wish you could be here
repeat intro (in Ab) to fade
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
