a winters tale

, david essex

5    5     5  -4 5   -5
the nights are colder now
5  5 -5   5      4    3  -3
maybe i should close the door
-4    5   5   -5  5  -5   5     5  -4
the snow has covered all your footsteps
-5 5  -4 4   -4   4  -3
i can follow you no more
 5    5     5    -4  5  -5
the fire still burns at night
-5   5 -5    5   4    3   -3
my memories are warm and clear
 4   4 -45-5    6    6    6 -5  5  -4 4
but everybody knows its hard to be alone
4  -4     5  -4  4
at this time of year

(chorus)
5  -5   6 6 6 -7 7    -5
it was only a winters tale
 5   5 5 5   -5 6     4
just another winters tale
 -4  5    5     5  -5     5    5 -4
and why should the world take notice
-4 -4   4    6     4    -3
of one more love thats failed
 5  -5  6    6     6   -77   -5
it`s a love that could never be
  -4  -4    5   5  5   5 -5   6  4
though it meant a lot to you and me
4 -4 -5     5     5
on a world wide scale
4   -3   -3-34    5 -4    4
its just another winters tale.

why i stand alone
a bell is ringing far away
i wonder if you hear
i wonder if your listening
i wonder where you are today
good luck i wish you well
for all that wishes may be worth
i hope that love and strength
are with you for the length of your time on earth.
     (repeat chorus and finish)
