           B7---Em7---D---A

____Verse: 1

                    Em7---Em9
 It's beautiful outside
                       Am/E------
 An old hand gathers wood________
        Bm7 
 Can he see me sitting here?
     Em7     D          A
 His mind is somewhere else

____Verse: 2

     Em7         Bm7     Em7---Em9
 His friend have flown away
                        Am/E------
 He's left out in the cold________
    Bm7 
 He won't sit by my fire
            Em7      D       A
 He says he likes it in the snow
       Em7        Bm7    G
 Where footprints never go
    A        Em7    A
 He likes it in the snow

____Verse: 3

      Em7               Em9
 It's getting dark outside
                        Am/E------
 The old hand's going home________
        Bm7
 Has he someone waiting there?
       Em7    D       A
 Is he living on his own?
       Em7        Bm7    G
 Where footprints never go
    A        Em7    A
 He likes it in the snow

____Chorus: 1

G      A        Bm
 White blanket, hiding the traces
    Em7               Bm
 Of tears she didn't see
 G         A       Bm
 Oh, white blanket covers the memory
    Em7               Bm   Em7                Bm
 Of all that used to be,____all that used to be

____Coda: 

         F#          Bm
 But his heart keeps aching
        Em7      A
 In the same old way
    F#         Bm
 He can't help feeling that
     Em7        A         Em7---Em9---Am/E---Bm7---B7---Em---D---A
 She might come back someday

____Verse: 4

                    Em7---Em9
 It's beautiful outside
                      Am/E------
 A magpie looks for food________
     Bm7
 The old hand throws a crumb
        Em7        D       A
 Do you think he's found a friend?
       Em7        Bm7    G
 Where footprints never go
    A        Em7    A
 He likes it in the snow

____Chorus: 2

G      A        Bm
 White blanket, hiding the traces
    Em7              Bm
 Of paths he didn't take
 G        A       Bm
 Oh white blanket covers the memory
    Em7              Bm 
 Of moves he didn't make

____Chorus: 1 (w/ changes)

 G        A        Bm
 Oh white blanket, hiding the traces
    Em7              Bm
 Of tears he didn't see
 G          A              Bm
 Snow white blanket simply covers the memory
    Em7               Bm
 Of all that used to be

____Coda:

         F#          Bm
 But his heart keeps aching
        Em7      A
 In the same old way
    F#         Bm
 He can't help feeling that
     Em7        A         Em7---Em9---Am/E---Bm7---B7---Em7---D---A
