^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ tacet 1st time[/tab]

Verse 1:

[tab]
Lookin from my window[/tab]
[tab] /
At the freshly fallen snow[/tab]
[tab]
That sparkles as it tumbles[/tab]
[tab] /
Upon the street below[/tab]
[tab]
And the crackle of the fire[/tab]
FaddG
Is laughing in my ear
[tab]
And the room is warm and sleepy[/tab]
[tab]
I wish you could be here[/tab]

[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
[tab]
I wish you could be here[/tab]
[tab]
I wish you could be here[/tab]

[repeat intro]

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

[tab]
I keep listening for your footsteps[/tab]
[tab] /
Or your key turned in the door[/tab]
[tab]
I sure could use your company[/tab]
[tab]
But we ve been through that before[/tab]
[tab]
The winter s going to last[/tab]
GbaddAb
A long time this year
[tab]
I ve got lots of empty time to kill[/tab]
[tab]
I wish you could be here[/tab]
[tab]
I wish you could be here[/tab]
[tab]
I wish you could be here[/tab]

[repeat intro (in Ab) to fade]
