Song for a Winter's Night Chords by Gordon Lightfoot

[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
A D A          E                      D         A
■ ■ ■ The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top ■
         E                
The snow is softly falling
A         E                             D    A
■ The air is still in the silence of my room ■
       E          A             
I hear your voice softly calling


[Chorus]
     E     D         E   C#m 
If I could only have you near
   F#m               E  
To breathe a sigh or two
                      F#m         D       A   
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
E                    Asus4   
On this winter night with you
D A D A

[Verse]
          E                        D       
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
A    E        A      E    
■ My glass is almost empty
A   E                                 D        
■ I read again between the lines upon each page
    E                      A 
The words of love you sent me


[Chorus]
     E          D      E  C#m7 
If I could know within my heart
         F#m  Bm7    E   A
That you were lonely too ■
        E                F#m            D A   
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
        E            Asus4   
On this winter night with you
D Esus4 A D A

[Verse]
            E    
The fire is dying
       F#m             D  
Now my lamp is growing dim
A             E         A       E
The shades of night are lifting ■
A           E            F#m7             D   
The morning light steals across my window pane
A             E        A       
Where webs of snow are drifting


[Chorus]
           E    D    E       
If I could only have you near
C#m          F#m     Bm  E
To breathe a sigh or two ■
A            E             F#m            D A   
■ I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
        E                 C#7 F#m
On this winter night with you ■  
D         E          Asus4   
And to be once again with you
