A/C#    G#m/B
Mercury falling
   Bm         F#m/A
I rise from my bed
Bm/D          Bm7
Collect my thoughts together
E          F#7
I have to hold my head
A/C#            G#m/B
It seems that she's gone
    Bm            F#m/A
And somehow I am pinned by
    Bm/D       Bm7
The hounds of winter
 E             F#7
Howling in the wind

I walk through the day
My coat around my ears
I look for my companion
I have to dry my tears
It seems that she's gone
Leaving me too soon
I'm as dark as December
I'm as cold as the Man in the Moon

Chorus:
F#m7         Bm/D
I still see her face
    A/C#          G#m/B
As beautiful as day
Bm7            F#m/A
It's easy to remember
Bm           E7
Remember my love that way
F#m7   Bm/D
All I hear is that lonesome sound
A/C#           G#m/B
The hounds of winter
Bm7         F#7
They follow me down

I can't make up the fire
The way that she could
I spend all my days
In the search for dry wood
Board all the windows
and close the front door
I can't believe
she won't be here anymore

Chorus

A season for joy
A season for sorrow
Where she's gone
I will surely, surely follow
She brightened my day
She warmed the coldest night
The Hounds of Winter
They got me in their sights

Chorus
