Chords

I thought that since it's getting near Christmas time it would be a good time to post song. Merry Christmas and enjoy! *When Sarah plays this song on the piano, she usually hits each chord in the verse about times. However, on Bm's, she usually hits that 3 times and then changes to a D before to the next chord, so it looks like this: (Bm)(Bm)(Bm)(D). I've indicated where this with an asterisk *. You can decide whether you like better playing with or without this. Intro: G C G Bm Em C G Bm*
Em                 C
The lake is frozen over

G                        Bm*
The trees are white with snow

Em               C
And all around reminders of you

    G            Bm*
Are everywhere I go

C Em
Ooooh...

C D
Ooooh...

Em                      C
It’s late and morning’s in no hurry

    G                  Bm*
But sleep won’t set me free

Em              C
I lie awake and try to recall

         G           D
How your body felt beside me

     C               Em
When silence gets too hard to handle

C                 D
And the night too long

G                 C   G
And this is how I see you

                         C  D   Em
In the snow on Christmas morning

                      C     G
Love and happiness surround you

                                 D
As you throw your arms up to the sky

                          Em
I keep this moment by and by

         C           G     D
Oh how I miss you now, my love

      Em               C
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,

      G              D
Merry Christmas, my love

Em           C
Sense of joy fills the air

G                    Bm*
And I daydream and I stare

C         Em
Up at the tree and I see

C            D
Your star up there

G                 C   G
And this is how I see you

                         C  D   Em
In the snow on Christmas morning

                      C     G
Love and happiness surround you

                                 D
As you throw your arms up to the sky

                          G
I keep this moment by and by
