[Verse 1]
GmSorrow is my bread
And Dtears I drink as wine
EbOblivion my happinDess

GmFor cold be the stone
When Dfrost be devoured the land
CmConsolation is no gift
D7Of winter's icy hand
[Chorus]
GmUpon a crust of snow
I'll Clay my broken frame
FWhat steel and iron won't take
I'll Dgive in winter's name
GmNo good a sullen sout no Ebuse a simple knave
No Dgroom for brides of plaited hair
This D7man old and lame

GmCame the man of crown
With Dsound of war drums beat
CmSaid no sword arm's strong enough
WithD7out my two good feet

[Verse 1]

Sorrow is my bread

And tears I drink as wine

Eb D

Oblivion my happiness

Ground under teeth of time

For cold be the stone

When frost be devoured the land

Consolation is no gift

Of winter's icy hand

[Chorus]

Upon a crust of snow

I'll lay my broken frame

What steel and iron won't take

I'll give in winter's name

Gm Eb

No good a sullen sout no use a simple knave

No groom for brides of plaited hair

This man old and lame

[Intro]

Gm D Eb D

[Verse 2]

If only I could breathe

To see the sun of may

Eb D

But still longer are the nights than days

As I wither away

Came the man of crown

With sound of war drums beat

Said no sword arm's strong enough

Without my two good feet

[Chorus]

Upon a crust of snow

I'll lay my broken frame

What steel and iron won't take

I'll give in winter's name

Gm Eb

No good a sullen soul no use a simple knave

No groom for brides of plaited hair

This man old and lame

[Interlude]

Gm C F D

No good a sullen soul no use a simple knave

No groom for brides of plaited hair

D Gm

My bride's wealth in death

[Outro]
