A Hazy Shade Of Winter

Am                           G
Time, Time, Time, see what's become of me,
        Dm                       Am
While I look around, for my possiblities,
         G
I was so hard to please,
         Am                 G
But look around, leaves are brown,
        F        E             Am
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.


[Verse 2]

                       G
We're a salvation army band.
F
Down by the riverside there's got to be a better ride
         Am
    than what you've got planned.
           G
Carry your cup in your hand,
         Am                    G                  F
And look around ya, leaves are brown now, and the sky,
      E             Am
Its a hazy shade of winter.


[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

Hang onto to your hopes my friends,
That's to mean a bit to say that if your hopes should pass away
    then simply pretend
That you can build them again !
Look around, the grass is high, the fields are ripe,
Its the spring time of my life......


[Verse 4]

F                       C
Seasons change with the scenery,
                    G
We're entwined in a tapestry
                     Am Em  Am
Won't you stop and remember me,
G
   at any convenient time,
F
Funny while my memory sleeps we'll open noble manuscripts
      Am
   of unpublished rhyme,
            G
Drinking my Vodka and lime,
       Am,                G                  F
I look around, leaves are brown now, and the sky,
        E             Am
   is a hazy shade of winter


[Verse 5]

      G                 F                E                    Am
Look around, leaves are brown, there's a patch of snow on the ground,
      G                 F                E                    Am
Look around, leaves are brown, there's a patch of snow on the ground,
      G                 F                E                    Am
Look around, leaves are brown, there's a patch of snow on the ground.
