         F          C      G  D       Em
Now the winter has come eclipsing the sun
          F          C             G  D
That has lighted my love for some time
       F              C             G  D       Em
And a cold wind now blows not much tenderness flows
          F           C               G
From the heart of someone feeling so tired

Chorus:
        D         A#           Bm         E7
And he feels so alone with no love of his own
D   A Em7 A D
So sad
    A Em7 A D
So bad
    A Em7 A D
So sad
    A Em7 A D
So bad

While his memory raced
With much speed and great haste
Through the problems of being there
In his heart at arm's length
Held within its great strength
To ward off such a great despair

Chorus:
But he feels so alone
With no love of his own
So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad

Take the dawn of the day
And give it away
To someone who can fill the part
Of the dream we once held
Now it's got to be shelved
It's too late to make a new start

Chorus:
But he feels so alone
With no love of his own
So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad
Oh so sad, so bad, oh so sad, so bad
So sad, so bad
