[Intro]
G C G C Em C D G C G C G

[Verse 1]
C G
February sixty three the cold would chill your bones
G/F# Em C
There's a couple walking down the road West 4th Street and Jones
D D/C
Shoulders hunched against the cold
G C
They walked through melting snow
Em C
She smiles for the camera
D G C G C
And he affected not to know

[Verse 2]
G C G
His hands deep in his pockets, his head was slightly bowed
G/F# Em C
All the studied nonchalance that the weather would allow
D D/C
Her arms wrapped around him like a shawl
G C
To keep him from the cold
Em Em7
Love so warm can melt away
C D G
What once she had to hold
C G C Em C D G C G C

[Verse 3]
G C G G/F#
Spring came late in sixty three and it faded like a kiss
Em C
Winter came in early, landed like a fist
D D/C
When Kennedy got shot
G C
In that Lincoln limousine
Em C
Drenched us all in blood and splintered bone
D G
Right on our TV screen
C G C Em C D G C G C

[Verse 4]
G C G
When I kissed my girl on Gower Street how was I to know
G/F# Em C
That we'd begun to drift apart as I stumbled through Soho
D D/C
In the unforgiving neon light
G C
The words she could not speak
