Here come those Vikings again!" Of course, I could be wrong..... Or you could try this link: http://www.guitaretab.com/gtab/a/1697 |

26 Dec 07 - 11:02 PM (#2223010) Subject: Lyr Add: WINTER SONG (Alan Hull / Lindisfarne) From: number 6 In case Phil is still lookin' for this or in case anyone else that might be interested .... it is an absolutely wonderful song. WINTER SONG .. by Alan Hull of Lindisfarne D Ddim D7 When Winter's shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street G Bm Em G7 And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet C Em A Do you spare a thought for Summer whose passage is complete D Ddim D7 Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat Gm G A (D Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D)x2 When Winter.... comes howling in. Verse 2: When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music through your head And your rain-splattered windows make you decide to stay in bed Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead Or do you pull your bed-clothes higher, dream of Summertime instead, When Winter.... comes howling in. Verse 3: The creeping cold has fingers that caress without permission And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the condition Do you spare a thought for the gypsy with no secure position Who's turned and spurned by village and town and the Magistrate's decision, When Winter.... comes howling in. Verse 4: When the turkey's in the oven and the Christmas presents are bought And Santa's in his module - he's an American astronaut - Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts, Who got busted - just for talking, and befriending the wrong sorts, When Winter.... comes howling in. Gm G A Intro.... When Winter.... comes howling in. biLL |

You never did hear them or their songs over here in Canada. I remember seeing them many years ago in Edinburgh and became a fan immediately. biLL |
