Cadd9 - 032030 Em7 - 022030 G - 320023 D/F# - 200230 A7 - 002020 A7sus - 002030 Partway through the song I usually transition to a chunking strum pattern rather than picking. All that really matters is keeping that 'bass' pattern active on the A and E strings during the verses.

      Under ice there's a world moving slow,

Cadd9     Em7           G           D/F#
Carnelian stars and the bars down below

And then there's morning

Cadd9      Em7         G  D/F#
When I get back to the city

Cadd9        Em7           G  D/F#
Everything's cluttered and pretty

Cadd9      Em7      G    D/F#
I won't regret my return

Cadd9       Em7        G           D/F#
I'll just remember the wind and the snow

        Em7                  A7sus  A7
And the howling so loud that it alone

Cadd9                    G  D
Drowns out the inside of me-ee
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G                  D/F#

I can't wait anymore
