The Last Days of Winter
=======================

Chords transcribed by Alan Bigham.  Added 10-Jan-2017.

Love this song.  Rarely gets played but reminds me of back when I started this site listening to B-sides and rare stuff.

INTRO:

VERSE:
Em         Bm
I spy with my little eye,
    D                         A
The sun shining brightly, the clouds rolling by
    Em                      Bm
The last days of winter now seem so far away
    D                              A
And everything looks green when it used to be gray 
    Em                      Bm   
And I've watched the change like the changing in my mind
    D                            A
And I chased the leaves like the words I never find
         Em                  Bm                 
Like the people I knew who I sometimes see today
D                               A
Some still bright like fire and some faded away

VERSE:
  Em                    Bm
I turn on the radio and someone's playing a song
  D                 A
I turn on the news, hear what's going on
  Em                   Bm
I turn on my back when I'm full of beer
      D                        A
And I turn off the news when I don't want to hear

BRIDGE:
    A           G        A             G
And I've seen a girl who looks so very sad
A                  G         A                   Em
Nothing left but a memory of all the times she's had

    A           G                A     G
And I've seen a man who looks so sad inside
A                    G             A               Em
Nothing left but the memories from which he cannot hide

VERSE:
   Em                        Bm
So I learned to fight with a weapon called the word
    D                                  A
And I learned to rise my voice so that I'd be heard
    Em                        Bm
And I learned to fight with a weapon called the word
      D                             A
And I learned to raise my voice but I've never been heard
