G 
Shivering cold 
C 
Cobblestone road 
G           D            G 
Slipping on diamonds and silver 

G 
A funeral for the leaves 
C 
A eulogy in the breeze 
G              D        G 
A hymn for the bones of winter 

D 
The geese have already 
D 
Buried their heads 
G 
And a full moon over mine 
C 
Tells me it's time 
G                 D     G 
To start thinking about hibernation 

D 
First snap in the night 
D 
And the first crack in the ice 
G 
Of the pond 
G                           Em 
And the first lights of the season 

D 
When the children have already 
D 
Buried their heads 
G                  
It's quiet, alone, 
C  
cobblestone road 
G             D             G 
Waits for the first snow of December 

G 
A song for the dead leaves 
C 
The brine and the breeze 
G              D        G 
A poem for the bones of winter
