These are the approximate chords I worked out but I don't think that they're 
in the same key of the record. So there's lots of room for refinement.
GThat cold North wind they call La Bize
Is swEmirling 'round about my knees
CTrees are crying leaves into the riverD  
I'm huddGled in this French cafe
I neEmver thought I'd see the day
When wiCnter's here and summer's nearly Dover
Even the bCirds have packed up and goneD  
They're flying sGouth with this songC  
And my lGove, she too has gCone
She had to fDly, take care
Chorus : 
It's such a loGnely sky
ThEmey'll trap your wings, my love, and hoAmld your flight
ThDey'll build a cage and steal your oGnly sky
FEmly away, fly to me, fly when the wAmind is high
I'm saiDling beside you in your lonely skDy
2nd verse :
The old cathedral lights are low
She and I we'd often go
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
Lords and ladies lying in stone
Hand in hand from long ago
Though their hands are cold, their love's forever
Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long
And my love, she too has gone
She had to fly, out there
Chorus:
There's a couple other lines here during the fade out part but no new chords.

These are the approximate chords I worked out but I don't think that they're

in the same key of the record. So there's lots of room for refinement.

That cold North wind they call La Bize

Is swirling 'round about my knees

C D

Trees are crying leaves into the river

I'm huddled in this French cafe

I never thought I'd see the day

C D

When winter's here and summer's nearly over

C D

Even the birds have packed up and gone

G C

They're flying south with this song

G C

And my love, she too has gone

She had to fly, take care

Chorus :

It's such a lonely sky

Em Am

They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight

D G

They'll build a cage and steal your only sky

Em Am

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high

D D

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

2nd verse :

The old cathedral lights are low

She and I we'd often go

To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer

Lords and ladies lying in stone

Hand in hand from long ago

Though their hands are cold, their love's forever

Even the choir rehearses those songs

For Christmas is not long

And my love, she too has gone

She had to fly, out there

Chorus:

There's a couple other lines here during the fade out part but no new chords.
