 Verse 1:

          G6
         Lookin' from my window
                Fmaj7/G
         At the freshly fallen snow
               G6
         That sparkles as it tumbles
          Fmaj7/G
         Upon the street below
                  Em
         And the crackle of the fire
            FaddG
         Is laughing in my ear
                  C
         And the room is warm and sleepy
            F         C       Bb      D
         I wish you could be here

 [repeat second half of intro]

 Verse 2:

         Sundays in this town
         There's not a lot for me to do
         I've been listening to some records
         But my thoughts have turned to you
         I try to read the paper
         But the words aren't very clear
         And I know there's something missing
            F         C       Bb
         I wish you could be here
            F         C       Bb      D
         I wish you could be here

 [repeat intro]

 [key change to Ab - acoustic guitars remain in G (capo I)]

                 Ab6
         I keep listening for your footsteps
              Gbmaj7/Ab
         Or your key turned in the door
            Ab6
         I sure could use your company
            Gbmaj7
         But we've been through that before
              Fm
         The winter's going to last
          GbaddAb
         A long time this year
                   Db
         I've got lots of empty time to kill
            Gb       Db       Cb
         I wish you could be here
            Gb       Db       Cb
         I wish you could be here
            Gb       Db       Cb    Eb
         I wish you could be here

 [repeat intro (in Ab) to fade]
