[Intro]
A/C# B6 Bm A6
D6 Bm7 E F#7

[Verse 1]
A/C#     G#m/B
Mercury falling
   Bm               F#m/A
I rise from my bed
Bm/D                Bm7
Collect my thoughts together
E                 F#7
I have to hold my head
A/C#                 G#m/B
It seems that she's gone
      Bm                         F#m/A
And somehow I am pinned by
     Bm/D            Bm7
The hounds of winter
       E               F#7
Howling in the wind

[Verse 2]
A/C#              G#m/B
I walk through the day
      Bm                    F#m/A
My coat around my ears
Bm/D                    Bm7
I look for my companion
         E                 F#7
I have to dry my tears
A/C#                G#m/B
It seems that she's gone
       Bm               F#m/A
Leaving me too soon
       Bm/D               Bm7
I'm as dark as December
         E                        F#7
I'm as cold as the man in the moon

[Chorus]
F#m7         Bm/D
I still see her face
A/C#             G#m/B
As beautiful as day
    Bm7           F#m/A
It's easy to remember
        Bm                  E7
Remember my love that way
F#m7                  Bm/D
All I hear is that lonesome sound
A/C#                G#m/B
The hounds of winter
    Bm7             F#7
They follow me down

[Verse 3]
A/C#                 G#m/B
I can't make up the fire
Bm                       F#m/A
The way that she could
Bm/D           Bm7
I spend all my days
E                F#7
In the search for dry wood
A/C#              G#m/B
Board all the windows
Bm                   F#m/A
And close the front door
Bm/D          Bm7
I can't believe
E                       F#7
She won't be here anymore

[Chorus]
F#m7        Bm/D
I still see her face
A/C#           G#m/B
As beautiful as day
  Bm7            F#m/A
It's easy to remember
         Bm                  E7
Remember my love that way
F#m7                  Bm/D
All I hear is that lonesome sound
A/C#                G#m/B
The hounds of winter
  Bm7             F#7
They follow me down

[Verse 4]
A/C#             G#m/B
A season for joy
Bm                F#m/A
A season for sorrow
Bm/D             Bm7
Where she's gone
      E                F#7
I will surely, surely follow
A/C#                G#m/B
She brightened my day
  Bm                          F#m/A
She warmed the coldest night
Bm/D              Bm7
The hounds of winter
           E               F#7
They got me in their sights

I still see her face

As beautiful as day
