Don McLean - Winterwood
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G
No one can take your place with me
D7
And time has proven that I'm right
There's no place I'd rather be
G
Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen
D7
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
G C
Floats like a feather to the ground
CHORUS:
B7 Em
And for the first time I've been seeing
C G D7 C
The things I'd never noticed without you
B7 Em
And for the first time I'm discovering
C G D7 G
The things I used to treasure about you
The birds like leaves on Winterwood
D7
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days
They've learned to live life as they should
G
They are at peace with Nature's ways
You are as natural as the night
D7
And all that springs from you is good
And the children born beneath your light
G C
Are like the birds on Winterwood
CHORUS:
B7 Em
And for the first time I've been seeing
C G D7 C
The things I'd never noticed without you
B7 Em
And for the first time I'm discovering
C G D7 G
The things I used to treasure about you
