	 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ tacet 1st time

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       Bb
	I wish you could be here
	   F         C       Bb      D
	I wish you could be here

[repeat intro]

[key change to Ab - acoustic guitars remain in G (capo I)]

	        Ab6
	I keep listening for your footsteps
	     Gbmaj7/Ab
	Or your key turned in the door
	   Ab6
	I sure could use your company
	   Gbmaj7
	But we've been through that before
	     Fm
	The winter's going to last
	 GbaddAb
	A long time this year
	          Db
	I've got lots of empty time to kill
	   Gb       Db       Cb
	I wish you could be here
	   Gb       Db       Cb
	I wish you could be here
	   Gb       Db       Cb    Eb
	I wish you could be here

[repeat intro (in Ab) to fade]
