Chords

The intro is built around a D chord shape. Play along with the original recording to figure it out. This is based on what Bruce Woodley plays during the 1968 Seekers Farewell Concert. If you'd like more of an ending, you can play the intro at the end and finish on the D. [Intro] D [Verse]
D
Looking from my window

       Cmaj7
On the freshly fallen snow

   D
It sparkles as it tumbles

 Cmaj7
Upon the street below

    Bm
The crackle of the fire

   C
Is laughing in my ear

    G
The room is warm and sleepy

      C        G        F      A
And I wish you could be here
[Replay the intro here] [Verse]
D
Somedays in this town

              Cmaj7
There's not a lot for me to do

          D
I've been listening to some records

       Cmaj7
And my thoughts return to you

  Bm
I tried to read the paper

        C
But the words aren't very clear

     G
Oh I know there's something missing

      C        G        F      A
And I wish you could be here (I wish you could be here)
[Instrumental] D Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 Bm C G C G F A [Verse]
       D
I keep listening for your footsteps

        Cmaj7
Or your key turned in the door

  D
I sure could use your company

          Cmaj7
But we've been through that before

  Bm
I think the winter's going to last

  C
A long time this year

         G
I've got lot's empty time to fill

      C        G        F       A      D
And I wish you could be here
