Hazy Shade Of Winter

A Hazy Shade of Winter



 Am                           G
Time, Time, Time, see what's become of me,
         Dm                       Am
While I look around, for my possiblities,
          G
I was so hard to please,
          Am                 G
But look around, leaves are brown,
         F        E             Am
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.


                        G
We're a salvation army band.
 F
Down by the riverside there's got to be a better ride
          Am
than what you've got planned.
            G
Carry your cup in your hand,
          Am                    G                  F
And look around ya, leaves are brown now, and the sky,
       E             Am
Its a hazy shade of winter.



Hang onto to your hopes my friends,
That's to mean a bit to say that if your hopes should pass away
then simply pretend
That you can build them again !
Look around, the grass is high, the fields are ripe,
Its the spring time of my life......

 F                       C
Seasons change with the scenery,
                     G
We're entwined in a tapestry
                      Am Em  Am
Won't you stop and remember me,
 G
at any convenient time,
 F
Funny while my memory sleeps we'll open noble manuscripts
       Am
of unpublished rhyme,
             G
Drinking my Vodka and lime,
Am,                G                  F
I look around, leaves are brown now, and the sky,
         E             Am
is a hazy shade of winter
       G                 F                E                    Am
Look around, leaves are brown, there's a patch of snow on the ground,
       G                 F                E                    Am
Look around, leaves are brown, there's a patch of snow on the ground,
       G                 F                E                    Am
Look around, leaves are brown, there's a patch of snow on the ground.

Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
But look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
