Xmas - Winter Song


Tough to sing this one, but it is a lovely song if you have the voice for it.

Dm              C       F    
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
F       C       Bb  
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bb               Dm
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

Dm            C        F
This is my winter song to you.
F            C      Bb
The storm is coming soon,
Bb                  Dm
It rolls in from the sea

Dm             C      F
My voice; a beacon in the night.
F              C       Bb
My words will be your light,
Bb               Dm
To carry you to me.

         Bb
Is love alive?
         C
Is love alive?
       F Dm
Is love

Dm                   C       F
They say that things just cannot grow
F           C      Bb
Beneath the winter snow,
Bb                 Dm
Or so i have been told.

Dm              C    F
They say were buried far,
F           C       Bb
Just like a distant star
Bb              Dm
I simply cannot hold.

         Bb
Is love alive?
         C
Is love alive?
         F       Dm
Is love alive?

     A    Bb      C
This is my winter song.
Dm   A        Bb       C
December never felt so wrong,
Dm           A        Bb
Cause you're not where you belong;
Bb C    C  F
Inside my arms.

Dm              C       F
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
F       C       Bb
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bb               Dm
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

Dm                C      F  
I still believe in summer days.
F           C      Bb
The seasons always change
Bb                    Dm
And life will find a way.

Dm             C         F
Ill be your harvester of light
F          C   Bb
And send it out tonight
Bb               Dm
So we can start again.

         Bb
Is love alive?
         C
Is love alive?
         F       Dm
Is love alive?

     A    Bb      C
This is my winter song.
Dm   A        Bb       C
December never felt so wrong,
Dm           A         Bb
Cause you're not where you belong;
Bb C    C  F
Inside my arms.

Dm            C          F
This is my winter song to you.
F            C      Bb
The storm is coming soon
Bb                   Dm
It rolls in from the sea.

Dm            C        F        
My love a beacon in the night.
F             C       Bb
My words will be your light
Bb               C
To carry you to me.

         F
Is love alive?
         Bb
Is love alive?
         Dm
Is love alive?
         C
Is love alive?
(repeat)

         F
Is love alive?
         Bb
Is love alive?
         F
Is love alive?
