Tracy Grammer - Winter When He Goes
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   G  D  
N.C.   G  
As the sun is to the city
In the Gmaj7endless weeping winter
So is Cjoy to me, and pity
When he Emleaves me falsely Dtender
Like the Gtrue love's knot we tethered
Plastic Gmaj7ivy 'round the portal
For to Cframe the spring forever
Though the Emblizzard took the Dmortal holy Crose
DIt's always winter when he GgoesD  
As a Gmatter of convenience
We don't Gmaj7speak of dying gardens
As a Cwoman of heart and lenience
I make Emliberal with my Dpardons
I am Ggenerous with kindness
He with Gmaj7smiles and exaltations
Though he Cbinds his wounds in silence
I my Emown in practiced Dpatience lest he Cknow
DIt's always winter when he Cgoes 
DIt's always winter when he Ggoes
EmHe colClects the twigs and Bmbriars
I Cstack them Dup for Emfire
But it's Dchilly for the Cburning
And Emhe really Cslumbers in the Bmstraw
I Chold out Dfor the Emthaw
For the Dseasons won't be Cturning
As I'm Gwriting you this letter
The Gmaj7bluestem's running riot
And Cdaisies break their fetters
And the Embees will not lay Dquiet
If you Gfind him where he's dancing
With his Gmaj7lover or his jailer
Say in CApril's splendid mansion
I lay Embroken by his Dtrailer in the Csnow 
DIt's always winter when he Cgoes
DIt's always winter when he Cgoes
DIt's always winter when he GgoesD  C

INTRO:

N.C.

As the sun is to the city

Gmaj7

In the endless weeping winter

So is joy to me, and pity

Em D

When he leaves me falsely tender

Like the true love's knot we tethered

Gmaj7

Plastic ivy 'round the portal

For to frame the spring forever

Em D C

Though the blizzard took the mortal holy rose

D G D

It's always winter when he goes

As a matter of convenience

Gmaj7

We don't speak of dying gardens

As a woman of heart and lenience

Em D

I make liberal with my pardons

I am generous with kindness

Gmaj7

He with smiles and exaltations

Though he binds his wounds in silence

Em D C

I my own in practiced patience lest he know

D C

It's always winter when he goes

It's always winter when he goes

He collects the twigs and briars

C D Em

I stack them up for fire

D C

But it's chilly for the burning

Em C Bm

And he really slumbers in the straw

C D Em

I hold out for the thaw

D C

For the seasons won't be turning

As I'm writing you this letter

Gmaj7

The bluestem's running riot

And daisies break their fetters

Em D

And the bees will not lay quiet

If you find him where he's dancing

With his lover or his jailer

Say in April's splendid mansion

Em D C

I lay broken by his trailer in the snow

It's always winter when he goes

It's always winter when he goes

D G D C

It's always winter when he goes
