--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | Am7 | A7sus2 | G9 | G7sus2 | | Em7 | E7 | Am7 G D | D | [Verse 1]
                 | Am7 | A7sus2 |
It's beautiful outside

   G9                   | G7sus2 |
An old hand gathers wood

       Em                  | Em7 |
Can he see me sitting here?

    Am7     G         D
His mind is somewhere else
[Verse 2]
    Am7          G     | Am7 | A7sus2 |
His friends have flown away

      G9                  | G7sus2 |
He's left out in the cold

   Em                  | Em7 |
He won't sit by my fire

            Am7     G      D
He says he likes it in the snow
[Bridge]
      Am7        Em    C
Where footprints never go

   D        Am7    D      | D |
He likes it in the snow   (break)
[Verse 3]
     Am7                 | A7sus2 |
It's getting dark outside

    G9                    | G7sus2 |
The old hand's going home

       Em                  | Em7 |
Has he someone waiting there?

         Am7    G      D
Or is he living on his own?
[Bridge]
      Am7        Em    C
Where footprints never go

   D        Am7    D
He likes it in the snow
[Chorus]
C      D(add11) Em                   Am7              Em
 White blanket, hiding the traces of tears she didn't see
C D(add11)Em Am7 Em Oh, white blanket covers the memory of all that used to be
Am7              Em
All that used to be
[Post-chorus]
        B7          Em            Am       D
But his heart keeps aching in the same old way

   B7         Em               Am         D        [ Am7 ]
He can't help feeling that she might come back someday

It's beautiful outside

  G9                     | G7sus2 |
A magpie looks for food

    Em                      | Em7 |
The old hand throws a crumb

       Am7        G       D
Do you think he's found a friend?
[Bridge]
      Am7        Em    C
Where footprints never go

C           D(add11)       Em                   Am7              Em
Snow  white blanket simply covers the memory of all that used to be
[Post-chorus]
        B7          Em            Am       D
But his heart keeps aching in the same old way

   B7         Em               Am         D        [ Am7 ]
He can't help feeling that she might come back someday
