Intro
| [F]   | [F]   | [F]   | [F]   |
Begin Melody (Play twice)
| [F][Riff]   | [F]   | [F]   | [F]   |
| [F][Riff]   | [F]   | [F]   | [F]   |

| [F] And | if the | snow | [F] bu- [Am] ries | [Dm] my, |   
| [A] my [Bb] neighbor- | [F] hood.
[Riff]   |   [F]   |   [F]   |   [F]   |

And | [F] if my | parents are | crying
| [F] then I'll [Am] dig a tun- | [Dm] nel
from | [A] my win- [Bb] dow to | [F] yours,    
| [F] yeah [Am] a tun- | [Dm] nel from | [A] my win- [Bb] dow to | [F] yours.
[Riff]   |   [F]   |   [F]   |   [F]   |

| [F] You | climb out the | chimney
and | [F] meet me [Am] in the | [Dm] middle,
the | [A] middle [Bb] of the | [F] town.   | [F]  
And | [F] since there's | no one else a- | round,  
| [F] we let [Am] our hair grow | [Dm] long
and for- | [A] get all we [Bb] used to | [F] know,
| [F] then our [Am] skin gets | [Dm] thicker
from | [A] living out [Bb] in the | [F] snow.

Chorus
You change | [F] all the lead      
| [F] sleepin' | in my head,
| [Dm] ...as the | [Dm] day grows dim
| [Dm] ...I hear you | [Dm] sing a golden | [C] hymn. |
| [C7]   | [C6]   | [C5]   |

| [F][Riff]   | [F]   | [F]   | [F]   |   

| [F] Then we | tried to name our | babies,
| [F] but we for- [Am] got all the | [Dm] names that,
the | [A] names [Bb] we used to | [F] know.
[Riff]   | [F]   | [F]   | [F]  
  
But | [F] sometimes, |   we remember our | bedrooms,
| [F] and our [Am] parent's | [Dm] bedrooms,
and the | [A] bedrooms [Bb] of our | [F] friends.
| [F] Then we [Am] think of our | [Dm] parents,
well | [A] what ever [Bb] happened to | [F] them?!

Chorus
You change | [F] all the lead      
| [F] sleepin' | in my head,
| [Dm] ...as the | day grows dim
| [Dm] ...I hear you | sing a golden | [C] hymn.  
the | [C7] song I've been trying to | [C6] say.   | [C5]

Chorus
| [F] ...Puri- | fy the colors, | purify my [Am] mind.
| [Dm] ...Puri- | [Dm] fy the colors, | [Dm] purify my | [C] mind,  
and spread the | [C7] ashes of the | [C6] colors
| [C5] over this heart of mine!

| [F][Riff]   | [F]   | [F]   | [F]   |
| [F][Riff]   | [F]   | [F]   | [F]   |
| [C]   | [C7]   | [C6]   | [C5]   | [F↓]
