Lyrics
C C2 CCCCF F2F F2 CG C2GGG F F2F F2 CG2/4 GGGG G2/4 !AmAmGG 2/4CCCC Virgin snow Perfect landscape peace and calm can overflow Covers all the imperfections down below With mellow glow Virgin snow So serene Nothing jars no irritations can be seen Not a whisper out of place or in between Its pleasing sheen So serene AmAmEmAmFFCC AmAmEmAmF CF CGGGG CC2 There may be turmoil and disturbance as the thaw sets in Churning slush and mire will rise up to the fore Change is never easy from winter into spring But change you must or sleep for evermore.
