Intro: Am7 - Dm/A - Em7 - E7 - Am7 - G - D

                  Am7      Dm/A
It's beautiful outside, an old hand gathers wood
       Em7                      Am7     G         D
Can he see me sitting here? His mind is somewhere else
    Am7          Em7    Am7       Dm/A  
His friends have flown away, he's left out in the cold
   Em7                              Am7      G      D
He won't sit by my fire, he says he likes it in the snow
      Am7        Em7   C      D        Am7    D
Where footprints never go, he likes it in the snow
     Am7                       Dm/A
It's getting dark outside, the old hand's going home
       Em7                             Am7    G      D
Has he someone waiting there? Or is he living on his own?
      Am7        Em7   C      D        Am7    D
Where footprints never go, he likes it in the snow.....
C     D        Em                   Am7              Em
White blanket, hiding the traces of tears she didn't see
C        D       Em                   Am7              Em
Oh white blanket covers the mem'ry of all that used to be
Am7              Em7    
All that used to be
        B           Em            Am7      D
But his heart keeps aching in the same old way
   B          Em               Am         D         Am7
He can't help feeling that she might come back someday 

Solo: 
Am7 - Dm/A - Em7 - E7 - Am - G - D

               Am7        Dm/A
It's beautiful outside, a magpie looks for food
    Em7
The old hand throws a crumb
       Am7        G       D
Do you think he's found a friend?
      Am7        Em7   C      D        Am7    D
Where footprints never go, he likes it in the snow
C     D       Em                   Am7             Em
White blanket hiding the traces of paths he didn't take
C        D       Em                   Am7             Em
Oh white blanket covers the mem'ry of moves he didn't make
C        D        Em                   Am7              Em
Oh White blanket, hiding the traces of tears she didn't see
C          D              Em                   Am7              Em
Snow white blanket simply covers the mem'ry of all that used to be 
        B           Em            Am7      D
But his heart keeps aching in the same old way
   B          Em               Am7        D         Am7
He can't help feeling that she might come back someday
