C Dm7 Em7
When the summer fled past my window
F G7
And autumn's chill was in the air
A7 Dm7
There's a special kind of lonesome
D7 G7
'Round that ending time of year
C Dm7 C Dm7
When the leaves fell and they drifted
C Dm7 Em Bb7
'Neath the trees that soon were bare
Dm7 Dm7-5 C A7
I felt the wind blow ever colder
Dm7 D7 G7
And suddenly you were there
C Dm7 C Dm7
We laughed and scuffled while the snow fell
C Dm7 Em Bb7
And the cold gave your cheeks a glow
Dm7 Dm7-5 C A7
And in your arms come evening
Dm7 G7 C C7
A kind of peace I'd know
F Dm7-5 C C7
Often I'd wake at midnight
F Dm7-5 C Em
Mid some icy winter storm
A7 A7+5 A7 Dm7
But then I would find you beside me
D7 Dm7 Bb7
And you made the night seem so warm
(*Note: A nice trick to use at this point here is
to have a capo ready to put on the 3rd fret
and then transpose the following chords from
Eb to the key of C.)
Eb Fm7 Eb Fm7
I go my way, you go your way
Eb Fm7 Gm Db7
Now that the winter's come and gone
Fm Abm6 Eb C7
But somehow with the springtime
Fm7 C7 Fm7 Abm6 Eb - Fm7 - Gm7 - Ab - Abm - Eb
Your golden warmth still lingers on
