Sarah McLachlan - Wintersong

I thought that since it's getting near Christmas time it would be a good time to post
song. Merry Christmas and enjoy!

*When Sarah plays this song on the piano, she usually hits each chord in the verse about
times. However, on Bm's, she usually hits that 3 times and then changes to a D before
to the next chord, so it looks like this: (Bm)(Bm)(Bm)(D). I've indicated where this 
with an asterisk *. You can decide whether you like better playing with or without this.


Intro: G C G Bm
Em C G Bm*

Em                 C
The lake is frozen over
G                        Bm*
The trees are white with snow
Em               C
And all around reminders of you
    G            Bm*
Are everywhere I go

C Em
Ooooh...
C D
Ooooh...

Em                      C
It’s late and morning’s in no hurry
    G                  Bm*
But sleep won’t set me free
Em              C
I lie awake and try to recall
         G           D
How your body felt beside me
     C               Em
When silence gets too hard to handle
C                 D
And the night too long

G                 C   G
And this is how I see you
                         C  D   Em
In the snow on Christmas morning
                      C     G
Love and happiness surround you
                                 D
As you throw your arms up to the sky
                          Em
I keep this moment by and by
         C           G     D
Oh how I miss you now, my love
      Em               C
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
      G              D
Merry Christmas, my love

Em           C
Sense of joy fills the air
G                    Bm*
And I daydream and I stare
C         Em
Up at the tree and I see
C            D
Your star up there

G                 C   G
And this is how I see you
                         C  D   Em
In the snow on Christmas morning
                      C     G
Love and happiness surround you
                                 D
As you throw your arms up to the sky
                          G
I keep this moment by and by
