[Verse 1]
A/C#      G#m/B        Bm           F#m/A
    Mercury falling, I rise from my bed 

Bm/D                    Bm        Esus2    F#5
    Collect my thoughts together,        I have to hold my head 

A/C#             G#m/B            Bm           F#m/A
    It seems that she's gone, and somehow I am pinned by 

Bm/D               Bm     Esus2                      F#5
    The hounds of winter,     they're howling in the wind
[Verse 2]
A/C#       G#m/B               Bm             F#m/A
    I walk through the day, my coat around my ears 

Bm/D               Bm        Esus2   F#5
    I look for my companion,       I have to dry my tears 

A/C#           G#m/B           Bm             F#m/A
    It seems that she's gone , leaving me too soon 

       Bm/D           Bm              Esus2         F#5
I'm as      dark as December, I'm as cold as the man   in the moon
[Chorus 1]
F#m7         Dmaj9add13      A6/C#        B6
    I still see her face, as beautiful as day 

Bmadd9             F#m/A    Bm7         Eadd9
      It's easy to remember,   remember my love that way 

F#m7       Dmaj9add13    A6/C#        B6
     All I hear is that,     lonesome sound, 

Bmadd9           F#m/A  Esus2             F#5
  The hounds of winter,       they follow me down
[Verse 3]
A/C#           G#m/B        Bm              F#m/A
    Can't make up the fire,    the way that she could 

Bm/D           Bm               Esus2          F#5
    I spend all my days, in the search for dry wood 

A/C#       G#m/B           Bm               F#m/A
    Board all the windows,    and close the front door

Bm/D        Bm                   Esus2     F#5
    I can't believe, she won't be here anymore
[Chorus 2]
F#m7         Dmaj9add13      A6/C#        B6
    I still see her face, as beautiful as day

      It's easy to remember,   remember my love that way

     All I hear is that,     lonesome sound,

[Verse 4]
A/C#         G#m/B    Bm          F#m/A
    A season for joy,    a season for sorrow 

Bm/D            Bm            Esus2       F#5
    Where she's gone, I will surely, surely follow 

A/C#              G#m/B        Bm                 F#m/A
    She brightened my day, she warmed the coldest night 

Bm/D           Bm          Esus2      F#5
     The hounds of winter,       they got me in their sights

     All I hear is that,     lonesome sound, 

Bmadd9           F#m/A  Esus2             F#5
  The hounds of winter,       they follow me down
