Verse 1:
G6
Lookin' from my window
Fmaj7/G
At the freshly fallen snow

That sparkles as it tumbles
Fmaj7/G
Upon the street below
Em
And the crackle of the fire
FaddG
Is laughing in my ear
C
And the room is warm and sleepy
F C Bb D
I wish you could be here
[repeat second half of intro]
Verse 2:
Sundays in this town
There's not a lot for me to do
I've been listening to some records
But my thoughts have turned to you
I try to read the paper
But the words aren't very clear
And I know there's something missing
F C Bb
I wish you could be here
F C Bb D
I wish you could be here
[repeat intro]
[key change to Ab - acoustic guitars remain in G (capo I)]
Ab6
I keep listening for your footsteps
Gbmaj7/Ab
Or your key turned in the door
Ab6
I sure could use your company
Gbmaj7
But we've been through that before
Fm
The winter's going to last
GbaddAb
A long time this year
Db
I've got lots of empty time to kill
Gb Db Cb
I wish you could be here

I wish you could be here
Gb Db Cb Eb
I wish you could be here
