{st:Gordon Lightfoot}
{c:Strum: |: d - D u - u d u :|:}
[F] The lamp is [C] burning low up [Dm] on my table [Bb] top
[F] The snow is [C] softly [F] falling [C]
[F] The air is [C] still within the [Dm] silence of my [Bb] room
[F] I hear your [C] voice softly [F] calling
{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
If [F] I could [C] only [Bb] have you [C] near
[Am] To breathe a [Dm] sigh or [Bb] two [C]
[F] I would be [C] happy just to [Dm] hold the hands I [Bb] love
[F] On this [C] winter’s night with [F] you [C]
{eoc}
[F] The smoke is [C] rising in the [Dm] shadows over-[Bb]head
[F] My glass is [C] almost [F] empty [C]
[F] I read a-[C]gain between the [Dm] lines upon each [Bb] page
[F] The words of [C] love you [F] send me
{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
If [F] I could [C] know with-[Bb]in my [C] heart
[Am] That you were [Dm] lonely [Bb] too [C]
[F] I would be [C] happy just to [Dm] hold the hands I [Bb] love
[F] On this [C] winter’s night with [F] you [C]
{eoc}
[F] The fire is [C] dying now my [Dm] lamp is getting [Bb] dim
[F] The shades of [C] night are [F] lifting [C]
[F] The morning [C] light steals a-[Dm]cross my window [Bb] pane
[F] Where webs of [C] snow are [F] drifting
{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
If [F] I could [C] only [Bb] have you [C] near
[Am] To breathe a [Dm] sigh or [Bb] two [C]
[F] I would be [C] happy just to [Dm] hold the hands I [Bb] love
[F] On this [C] winter’s night with [A7] you [Dm]
[Bb] And to be [C] once again with [F] you
{eoc}
