[Intro]

   C     D    Dsus2   D    G     
   Am    C    D       N.C.
                                                                  
 
[Verse]

Em            Cmaj7 G 
    I flew in on      
            D     D Dsus2 D D4 D Dsus2 D
the evening plane,
Em               G        
    Is it such a good idea 
          D           A
that I am here again?
Bm              D           A     
    And I could cut my cold breath 
             A A4 A Asus2
with a knife,
Bm                D            
    And taste the winter of a - 
A            Bm
nother life
 
[Verse]

Em                    Cmaj7 G 
    A yellow cab from JFK,    
    D
the long way round,

D  Dsus2 D  D4 D   Dsus2 D   Em
                 I did - n't mind,
           G                  D   
It gave me thinking time be - fore 
          A      A A4 A Asus2
I ran a - ground,
Bm           D       
    On rocky memories 
    A       A4    A
and choking tears,
        Bm           D     
I be - lieve it only rained 
                  A      Bm
'round here these thirty years
 
[Verse]

              C             G
Now, it's the first snow on Brooklyn,
       Bm            A
And my cold feet are drumming,
Am                          Em     
    You don't see me in the shadows 
          G           D
from your cozy window frame,
D   Dsus2 D      C               G
And last  night, who was in your parlour,
         Bm              Em
Wrapping presents in the late hour,
A4               Am       Cmaj7  
    To place u - pon your pillow 
C      D 
as the morning came?
 
   D  Dsus2 D  D4 D Dsus2 D   D    D4  D5
                                                  
 
[Verse]

Em                Cmaj7 G       
    The thin wind stings my face, 

       D          D D4 D Dsus2
pulled collar up,
Em                 G     
    I could murder coffee 
     D           A A4 A Asus2
in a grande cup, 
Bm             D   
    No welcome deli, 
           A         Asus4 A
there's no Starbucks here,
Bm               D              
    A dime for a quick phone call 
      A       Bm
could cost me dear
 
[Verse]

N.C     C             G
And the first snow on Brooklyn...
         Bm            
Paints a Christmas card 
         A
upon the pavement, 

Am                 
    The cab leaves a 
        Em
disap - pearing trace,
G                        D  D4 D Dsus2 D
 ...And then it's gone,
        C              G
And the snow covers my footprints,
          Bm              Em
Deep re - grets and heavy heartbeats,
A4           Am   
    When you wake, 
             Cmaj7   C
you'll never see the spot...
           D             D Dsus2 D D4 D  Dsus2 D  D     D4 D5
That I was standing on

Some things are best for - gotten...
         Bm                 A
Some are better half - re - membered,

be there on your...

...On your Christmas night,
        C             G      
And the first snow on Brooklyn

makes a lonely road to travel,
A4             Am         Cmaj7 C
