Verse 1:

	 
 G6
	Lookin' from my window
	       
 Fmaj7/
 G
	At the freshly fallen snow
	      
 G6
	That sparkles as it tumbles
	 
 Fmaj7/
 G
	Upon the street below
	         
 Em
	And the crackle of the fire
	   FaddG
	Is laughing in my ear
	         
 C
	And the room is warm and sleepy
	   
 F         
 C       
 Bb      
 D
	I wish you could be here

[repeat second half of intro]

Verse 2:

	Sundays in this town
	There's not a lot for me to do
	I've been listening to some records
	But my thoughts have turned to you
	I try to read the paper
	But the words aren't very clear
	And I know there's something missing
	   
 F         
 C

 Ab6
	I sure could use your company
	   
 F#maj7
	But we've been through that before
	     
 Fm
	The winter's going to last
	 GbaddAb
	A long time this year
