Okay, This is my first one, so If you think its a little rough around the edges, please comment!
COnce upon a WinterEm  
EIt seems so long agoG  
CMy one and only love and IEm  
FAell Down upon the snow.D  
(Basically, thats the chord structure, it only changes during the chorus.)
And as the dusk was falling,
from our gray and goose-down sky,
We heard the old cathedral bells
ring out our lullaby
Chorus:
CSnow angel, Snow AngelEm  
ESomeday I gonna FlyG  
CThis cold and broken heart of mineEm  
AWill One day wave goodbyeD  
CGoodbye to this cruel wicked worEmld
EAnd all the tears iv'e criedG  
CSnow angel, snow angelEm  
I'll MEeet You in Dthe skyG  
The rumors of a distant war
Called my true love’s name
He packed his leather suitcase
And spoke no word of blame
We walked awhile together
I tried to hide my fear
He told me not to be afraid
And whispered in my ear
Chorus
They brought my love home from the war
In a cart pulled by white mules
The Christmas bells rang out that day
Oblivious as fools
And as the snow began to fall
I kissed his frozen face
They told me in his woolen coat
His last few words were placed
Chorus
