A Hazy Shade Of Winter

Dmi                         C
Time time time see what's become of me
      Bb                           Ami
while I looked around for my possibilities
          C                        Dmi
I was so hard to please but look around
             C             Bb      A7            Dmi
leaves are brown and the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
                   C
Hear the Salvation Army Band
 Bb
down by the riverside it's bound to be a better ride
       Ami
than what you've got planned
            C                          Dmi
carry your cup in your hand and look around
             C                 Bb      A7            Dmi
leaves are brown now and the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Hang onto your hopes my friend
  Bb
that's an easy thing to say

but if your hopes should pass away
 Ami                         C                      Dmi
simply pretend that you can build them again look around,

the grass is high the fields are ripe
            A7             Dmi
it's the springtime of my life.
 Bb                       F
Seasons change with the scenery
 Fmaj7             C9
weaving time in a tapestry
                    Dmi  A7  Dmi
won't you stop and remember me
C
at any convenient time
 Bb
funny how my mem'ry skips

while looking over manuscripts
   Ami
of unpublished rhyme.
             C                      Dmi
Drinking my vodka and lime I look around
             C7                Bb7     A7            Dmi
leaves are brown now and the sky is a hazy shade of winter

look around leaves are brown
           A7                    Dmi
there's a patch of snow on the ground
       C                 Bb7
look around leaves are brown
           A7                    Dmi
there's a patch of snow on the ground
       C                 Bb7
look around leaves are brown
           A7                    Dmi
there's a patch of snow on the ground ...
