D7/13 b-7
Collect my thoughts together
E7 F#-7
I have to hold my head
It seems that she's gone
and somehow I am pinned by
the hounds of winter
howling in the wind
I walk through the day
my coat around my ears
I look for my companion
I have to dry my tears
it seems that she's gone
leaving me too soon
I'm as dark as december
I'm as cold as the man in the moon
Chrous:
F#-7 B9
I still see her face
F#-7 G#-7
as beautiful as day
B-7 F#-7

B9 F#-7
remember my love that way
F#-7 B9
all I hear
F#-7 G#-7
is that lonesome sound
B-7 F#-7
the hounds of winter
E7 F'-7
they follow me down
Verse:
I can't make up the fire
the way that she could
I spend all my days
in the search for dry wood
board all the windows and close
the front door
I can't believe she won't here anymore
Chorus:
I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all I hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they follow me down

Verse:
A season for joy
a season for sorrow
where she's gone
I will surely, surely follow
she brightened my day
she warmed the coldest night
the hounds of winter
they got me in their sights
Chorus:
I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all I hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they harry me down
