Intro: C Csus2 C Csus4 FM7 G Gsus2 G x3 Verse 1:
C              F  G     C Csus2 C Csus4
On a winter's Sunday I go

    F      G       C  Csus2 C Csus4
To clear away the snow

     F         G      C  Csus2 C Csus4  F  G
And green the ground below

C             F  G    C Csus2 C Csus4
April all an ocean away

    F               G                C  Csus2 C Csus4
Is this the better way to spend the day?

F           G         C Csus2 C Csus4  F  G
Keeping the winter at bay
Chorus 1:
F               G                C              F
What were the words I meant to say before you left?

    Am                  F                        G  G7  G6  G
When I could see your breath lead where you were going to

C               F    G      C  Csus2 C Csus4
Maybe I should just let it be

     F             G                C Csus2 C Csus4
And maybe it will all come back to me

      F     G       C
Sing: O, Janu--ary, O
C Csus2 C Csus4 FM7 G Gsus2 x2 Verse 2:
C              F    G        C Csus2 C Csus4
How I lived a childhood in snow

     F      G       C  Csus2 C Csus4
And all my teens in tow

     F         G        C  Csus2 C Csus4  F  G
Stuffed in strata of clothes

C           F    G           C  Csus2 C  Csus4
Pale the winter days after dark

F               G             C  Csus2 C Csus4
Wandering the gray memorial park

   F         G          C  Csus2 C Csus4 F  G
A fleeting beating of hearts
Chorus 2:
F               G               C              F
What were the words I meant to say before she left?

    Am                  F                        G  G7  G6  G
When I could see her breath lead where she was going to

C               F    G      C  Csus2 C Csus4
Maybe I should just let it be

     F             G                C Csus2 C Csus4
And maybe it will all come back to me

      F    G    F    G       C
