[Verse 1]
     F         C7/E   Bb/F
The nights are colder now
 Am                       Bb
Maybe I should close the door
                F        C7/G             Dm
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
    Bb                   C
And I can follow you no more
     F          C/E  F   Bb
The fire still burns at night
   Am                      Bb
My memories are warm and clear
                F
But everybody knows
     C7/G         Bb           C   C7   F   Fsus4
It’s hard to be alone at this time of year

[Chorus]
       F               C7/G
It was only a winter’s tale
 F           Gm  F/A   Bb
Just another winter’s tale
     F             Bb/F   F    Bb
And why should the world take notice
   F                     C
Of one more love that’s failed?
        F                  C7/G
It's a love that can never be
           F             Gm  F/A Bb
Though it meant a lot to you and me
     Fsus4  F
On a world-wide scale
       C               C7    F          
We’re just another winter’s tale * * *|

[Verse 2]
F        C7/E  Bb/F
While I stand alone
  Am                   Bb
A bell is ringing far away
                 F       C7/G             Dm
I wonder if you hear, I wonder if you’re listening
    Bb                   C
I wonder where you are today
      F      C/E   F  Bb
Good luck, I wish you well
    Am                      Bb
For all that wishes may be worth
                        F
I hope that love and strength
    C7/G              Bb             C   C7   F   Fsus4
Are with you for the length Of your time on earth

[Chorus]
       F               C7/G
It was only a winter’s tale
 F           Gm  F/A   Bb
Just another winter’s tale
     F             Bb/F   F    Bb
And why should the world take notice
   F                     C
Of one more love that’s failed?
        F                  C7/G
It's a love that can never be
           F             Gm  F/A Bb
Though it meant a lot to you and me
     Fsus4  F
On a world-wide scale
       C               C7    F    
We’re just another winter’s tale * * *|
