A Hazy Shade of Winter.
[Verse 1]
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of unpublished rhyme,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.

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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]

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Of unpublished rhyme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
[Verse 5]
Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
