Intro 1
(A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(C major) (G major) (A minor)
Verse 1
I come (A minor)
to you now with my
To commit my soul by my own free will
(C major) For if (A minor) I don't dare to climb that hill
Then tell my tale nobody will
(C major) One winter's night, long (G major) ago (A minor)
They were wide awake in a carriage house
And I snuck to the window
like a stable mouse
(C major) The I (A minor) can't forget and my
hair's gone white
The things I saw in the flickering light (C major)
One winter's night, long (G major) ago (A minor)
They were all in the kitchen
and the drink did flow
There was
Bing and
Dean on the radio
(C major) The (A minor) wind did howl, it was ten below
They were safe and sound from
the ice and (C major) snow (G major) (A minor)
And on the windowsill by the candle's glow
I could see an old cat gallery
(C major) A (A minor) bowl of cloves and pistachios
A bow on a thistle and some mistletoe
The (C major) twilight winters night, long (G major) ago (A minor)
Once I surveyed the scene,
I made my haste
Up to the chimney without a (C major) trace
For the (A minor) sand runs fast at a rapid pace
And it's
Christmas
Eve, no time to (C major) waste (G major) (A minor)
I crept past the kitchen on
the tip of my toes
Straight to the parlor where
the pine tree grows (C major)
A (A minor) string of socks lined up in rows
I was followed by that old cat,
Calico
(C major) One winter's night, long (G major) ago (A minor)
There in the house of the family hood
They had nine little babes
and they'd all been good
(C major) I was (A minor) carrying more than
an old man should
Nine little kittens made out of (C major) wood (G major) (A minor)
As I knelt beneath that
Christmas tree and spread
the gifts out quietly
(C major) All (A minor) at once, so suddenly,
I found myself with company
(C major) For winter's night, I'm (G major) all (A minor) alone
His presence shocked and bothered me
For I must work in secrecy
(C major) But (A minor) there he was, all shadowy
His features clipped in mystery
(C major) His (A minor) voice was low and billowy
As he offered his apology
(C major) Do (A minor) not fear, he said to me
And pardon my proximity
My (C major) name (A minor) is
Arthur
Hood, he said
But you can call me
Art instead
(C major) I built (A minor) the floor upon which we tread
And I built the roof up over (C major) it
And much (A minor) like you I am seldom seen,
rarely one to intervene
(C major) I fix (A minor) things up and I keep things clean,
catching leaks and mending screens
(C major) And I've (A minor) always felt that you and
I were of one fate to occupy
(C major) Pleased (A minor) to meet you eye to eye
And he wished me well
Then he said goodbye
(C major) In the winter's night
Long (G major) (A minor) ago
It was time to go
For the bells did ring
I had a list of lists
About a thousand things
(C major) My (A minor) swan song I shall not sing,
for thee I must leave what the silence brings (C major)
For it's winter's night, come (G major) on (A minor) home
I was heading for the chimney
just as slow as I could
When I saw on the mantel
carved into the (C major) wood
Six (A minor) little words that would shiver me good
In loving memory of
Arthur
(C major) Hood
One winter's night long (G major) ago (A minor)
In loving memory of
Arthur
Hood
One (C major) winter's night long (G major) ago (A minor)
One (C major) winter's night, long (G major) (A minor) ago (A minor)
One (C major) winter's night, long (G major) (A minor) ago
