VERSE 1
[Gm7] They [Fm7] chose to [D#m7] make a list
It [Fm7] happened on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day
And the [Fm7] canvas that they [G7] stole a [Cm7] way
Was [Fm7] stolen on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day
Then [Fm7] rescued from the [G7] cold and [C] clay
[C] [Cmaj7/G]
[C] [Dm7] [G7]
VERSE 2
[Gm7] The [Fm7] bells rang [D#m7] far and wide
They [Fm7] carried over [G7] field and [Cm7] fen
Held [Fm7] silent till the [G7] bellsong [Cm7] end
Though [Fm7] nothing but a [G7] smuggler’s [Cm7] tent
Made [Fm7] safe a treasure [G7] so far [Cm7] sent
CHORUS
And it [Fm7] happened on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day
Yes it [Fm7] happened on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day
Oh it [Fm7] happened on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day
Yes it [Fm7] happened on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day
Oh it [Fm7] happened on a [Gm7] winter’s [Fm7] day
Yes it [Fm7] happened on a [Gm7] winter’s [Fm7] day

[Gm7] Bring +Fmout the [D#m7] paper rack
And [Fm7] bring out all the [G7] stuff that [Cm7] sells
The [Fm7] postcard and the [G7] christening [Cm7] bell
And [Fm7] spread it so the [G7] jack can’t [Cm7] tell
No [Fm7] joking now we [G7] all fared [Cm7] well
CHORUS
And it [Fm7] happened on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day
Yes it [Fm7] happened on a [G7] winter’s [Cm7] day

Oh it [Fm7] happened on a [Gm7] winter’s [Fm7] day
Yes it [Fm7] happened on a [Gm7] winter’s [Fm7] day
