A hazy shade of winter

	  		(Intro:) Dm C Bb A7 
 
Dm                             C 
Time, time, time, see what's become of me 
       Bb 
While I looked around 
            Am 
For my possibilities 
         C       
I was so hard to please 
            Dm                C 
But look around, leaves are brown 
          Bb      A7            Dm 
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter 
 
                   C 
Hear the salvation army band 
Bb 
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride 
Than what you've got planned 
Carry your cup in your hand 
And look around, leaves are brown now 
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter 
 
Hang on to your hopes, my friend 
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away 
Simply pretend 
That you can build them again 
Look around, the grass is high 
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life 
 
Bb                            F     Fmaj7 
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery 
                  C9 
Weaving time in a tapestry 
                     Dm A7   Dm 
Won't you stop and remember me 
C 
  At any convenient time 
Bb 
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts 
Of unpublished rhyme 
Drinking my vodka and lime 
But look around, leaves are brown now 
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter 
 
Look around, leaves are brown 
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
