Hazy Shade Of Winter

  5     5     5
Time, time, time
 5   -5     4 -4  -4 -4
See what's become of me
 -4   5  -5    -5 -5 
While I looked around 
-5 -5   5 -4 6 6 6 
For my possibilities
5 -5  5  -4   4   -3
I was so hard to please
-3   -3  -3  4   
But look around
  5     4   -4  
Leaves are brown
-4  -4  -5 -5 -5 6 5    6   6  7 -6
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

 5    5   5 -4  4 -4 -3 -3
Hear the Salvation Army band
 -5 -5  -5  -5 -5 -5  
Down by the riverside
-5    -5   -5 -5 4 -5 -5   -5 
It's bound to be a better ride
 -5   6     6     6    6 
Than what you've got planned
5 -5    5   5  -4  4   -3
Carry your cup in your hand
-3   -3  -3  4
And look around
  5     4   -4 
Leaves are brown
-4  -4  -5 -5 -5 6 5    6   6  7 -6
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

 7   7 -7  -6   -7    6   -4
Hang onto your hopes, my friend
 -5    -5 -5 4   -5  4  -5
That's an easy thing to say
 4  -5  -5   -5     4    -5  -5 -5 
But if your hopes should pass away
 6  6   6  6
Simply pretend
 5   -5   5    5    -4  4 -3
That you can build them again
 -3  -3  4
Look around
 5    5   4  -4
The grass is high
-4    -4   -4  -5
The fields are ripe
-5   -5    6   5    6  7  -6
It's the springtime of my life

 -6 -6   -6     6   -5  5 -5 6
Seasons change with the scenery
 6  6    -6   6 5 -4 5 -5
Weaving time in a tapestry
 -5   -5   -5   5  -4 4 -4  5
Won't you stop and remember me
-4 5-4  4 -4 -3    3
At any convenient time?
-5 -5 -5  4  -5 -5   -5 
Funny how my memory skips
  4    -5 -5  -5 4 -5 -5 -5  
While looking over manuscripts
 4   6  6  6    6
Of unpublished rhyme
 5  -5   5  5 -4   4   -3
Drinking my vodka and lime
-3 -3  -3  4 
I look around
  5     4   -4 
Leaves are brown
-4  -4  -5 -5 -5 6 5    6   6   7 -6
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

  7  -7 -6 
Look around
 -6     6   -5
Leaves are brown
  -5   -5   5   -4  4   4  -4    5
There's a patch of snow on the ground
