Verse 1:
G6
Lookin' from my window
Fmaj7/G
At the freshly fallen snow
G6
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
Gb Db Cb
I wish you could be here
Gb Db Cb Eb
I wish you could be here
[repeat intro (in Ab) to fade]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CYRKLE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
