[Intro]
Dmaj7  Bm7  Em7  A7add6 
Dmaj7  Bm7  Em7  A7add6 A7

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7   Bm7     Em7
I'll be gone by winter
Dmaj7     Bm7      C6 C A7add6 A7
I'll have said goodbye
   Dmaj7    Bm7        Em7     Gm
To wind and rain, it's all the same
D/A  A7add6 A7 D
In   my        mind

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7   Bm7     Em7
I'll be gone by winter
Dmaj7     Bm7      C6 C A7add6 A7
Far across the sea
 Dmaj7    Bm7       Em7   Gm
Away from snow, and all I know
D/A  A7add6 A7 D
Left be-       hind

[Chorus]
Em  F#m          Bm7
    How slow the days go,
         Em7   A7    Dmaj7
When you don't come around anymore.
Em  F#m           Bm7             Em7   A7add6 A7
    I'll wait for sunlight in the grey

[Verse 3]
Dmaj7  Bm7    Em7
By the end of winter
Dmaj7   Bm7      C6  C  A7add6 A7
Day and night subside
    Dmaj7       Bm7      Em7       Gm
The spring will come and bring the sun
D/A  A7add6 A7 D
For  a         while

[Verse 4]
Dmaj7  Bm7      Em7
Summer passed unnoticed
Dmaj7    Bm7      C6  C  A7add6 A7
Autumn's come and gone
    Dmaj7     Bm7       Em7      Gm
And rain will start and break my heart
D/A  A7add6 A7 D
Like be-       fore

[Chorus]
Em  F#m          Bm7
    How slow the nights go,
         Em7   A7    Dmaj7
When you don't come around anymore
Em  F#m           Bm7             Em7   A7add6 A7
    I'll wait for daybreak in the grey

[Outro verse]
Dmaj7   Bm7     Em7
I'll be gone by winter
Dmaj7   Bm7     C6 C  A7add6 A7
Time to say farewell  I'll   be
Dmaj7    Bm7        Em7       Gm
Far from here, this time next year
    D/A  A7add6 A7 D   D/A  D
Goodbye, good-     bye
