Winter Winds

Mumford & Sons


Tom: C

 D           A            Bm                G
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
  D                   A             Bm        G
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
  D                        A         Bm                 G
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
    D       A       Bm               G
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt

G                 D
And my head told my heart
G      D    A
 Let love grow
G                  D
But my heart told my head
G      D    A
 This time no this time no

 D                  A          Bm     G
We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
 D                  A              Bm           G
And the time we were given will be left for the world
 D                       A             Bm       G
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
 D              A      Bm             G
So let the memories be good for those who stay

G                 D
And my head told my heart
 G     D    A
 Let love grow
G                  D
But my heart told my head
 G     D    A
 This time no
G                   D
Yes, my heart told my head
  G     D   A
 This time no
  G         D
 This time no

       D                  A            Bm              G
Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved
      D                   A         G
Was the same that sent me into your arms
      D               A               Bm             G
Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone
       D        A           G
And no hope, no hope will overcome

    D       A              Bm      G
And if your strife strikes at your sleep
    D         A          Bm      G
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
    D         A          Bm       G
You'll be happy and wholesome again
    D          A         Bm       G
When the city clears and sun ascends

G                D
And my head told my heart
  G    D    A
 Let love grow
G                D
But my heart told my head
  G     D   A
 This time no
 G                D
And my head told my heart
  G    D    A
 Let love grow
G                   D
But my heart told my head
  G    D    A   G        D
 This time no, this time no
