Floyd Marsden - Winter Solace

[Intro]
E G
E G

[Verse]
E C
The sun resigns its persistent resistance to the rain
E C
As the clocks and the weather beckon wetter days
D
The coats are donned
Am
Scarves are put on
D
The humidity and the damp
C
Of Autumn grasps to the leaves of oak trees
C
Before being blast
N.C
To the past

[Chorus]
E G
I never liked the summer anyway

[Verse]
E C
I stroll down through the woods out from the town
E C
Watching the dead autumn leaves slowly decay on the ground
D
Icy droplets pooling on my head
Am
And as the sun sets
Am
The sky turns a deathly red
D
If they could, everyone would beg the warmth to stay
C
But not me
C
I never liked the summer anyway

[Chorus]
E G
I much prefer my own winter solace

[Verse]
E C
Like poetry, icy clouds are cast in swirling ink across the sky
E
Playing with their material
C
Epistolary lipograms that fly
D
Through the air
D
Generating the frost of a new dawn
Am
With hopes of unanimous white paint on the lawn
D
The trees shiver, children wrapped in puffer jackets
C
Meanwhile at night, beds are gifted extra blankets

[Chorus]
E G
I never liked the summer anyway
E G
I never liked the summer anyway
E G
I’ll take the cold over the hot anyday
E G C E E G C E
I much prefer my own winter solace
E G C E
I never liked the summer anyway

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
E G
I never liked the summer anyway
E G
I much prefer my own winter solace
E G
I never liked the summer anyway
