[Verse] BmDBmDA When the fists of winter fly, driving bones into the snow EmAG Blackened frostbitten nights, Vodka running dry BmDBmDA statues cloaked in white, migrants from museums EmA Losing all the feeling now
[Chorus] GGG/F#DAA/GA/F#EmEmEm/F# that sunrise is outlawed, Strangers plant them__selves GGG/F#DAA Down in the cold hard ground, Later when the harvest thaws A Snow drops will be in bloom
