Em7---Em9
 It's beautiful outside
                       Am/E------
 An old hand gathers wood________
        Bm7 (x20202@1) Can he see me sitting here?

 He's left out in the cold________
    Bm7 (x20202@1) He won't sit by my fire
            Em7      D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)He says he likes it in the snow
       Em7        Bm7 (x20202@1)  G (320003@1)Where footprints never go

 The old hand's going home________
        Bm7 (x20202@1)Has he someone waiting there?
       Em7    D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)Is he living on his own?

G (320003@1)    A (x02220@1)      Bm (x24432@1)White blanket, hiding the traces
    Em7               Bm (x24432@1)Of tears she didn't see
 G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1)     Bm (x24432@1)Oh, white blanket covers the memory
    Em7               Bm (x24432@1) Em7                Bm (x24432@1)Of all that used to be,____all that used to be

____Coda:

F# (244322@1)        Bm (x24432@1)But his heart keeps aching
        Em7      A (x02220@1)In the same old way
    F# (244322@1)       Bm (x24432@1)He can't help feeling that
     Em7        A         Em7---Em9---Am/E---Bm7---B7---Em---D---A
 She might come back someday

 It's beautiful outside
                      Am/E------
 A magpie looks for food________
     Bm7 (x20202@1)The old hand throws a crumb
        Em7        D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)Do you think he's found a friend?
