Tracy Grammer - Winter When He Goes Chords

CAPO: 1st Fret



INTRO: G  D

N.C.   G
As the sun is to the city
       Gmaj7
In the endless weeping winter
      C
So is joy to me, and pity
        Em                D
When he leaves me falsely tender


         G
Like the true love's knot we tethered
        Gmaj7
Plastic ivy 'round the portal
       C
For to frame the spring forever
           Em                D           C
Though the blizzard took the mortal holy rose
D                          G     D
It's always winter when he goes


     G
As a matter of convenience
         Gmaj7
We don't speak of dying gardens
     C
As a woman of heart and lenience
       Em              D
I make liberal with my pardons


     G
I am generous with kindness
        Gmaj7
He with smiles and exaltations
          C
Though he binds his wounds in silence
     Em               D                C
I my own in practiced patience lest he know
D                          C
It's always winter when he goes 
D                          G     
It's always winter when he goes


Em    C                   Bm
He collects the twigs and briars
  C          D      Em
I stack them up for fire
         D              C
But it's chilly for the burning
    Em        C               Bm
And he really slumbers in the straw
  C        D       Em
I hold out for the thaw
        D                C
For the seasons won't be turning


       G
As I'm writing you this letter
    Gmaj7
The bluestem's running riot
    C
And daisies break their fetters
        Em                D
And the bees will not lay quiet


       G
If you find him where he's dancing
         Gmaj7
With his lover or his jailer
       C
Say in April's splendid mansion
      Em            D              C
I lay broken by his trailer in the snow 
D                          C
It's always winter when he goes
D                          C
It's always winter when he goes
D                          G     D  C
It's always winter when he goes
