Snowtime by James Taylor
Snowtime
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
[INTRO]
Eb Bb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb Eb G7+ Cm Bb Ab Eb/G Fm7
O -le - a - na, via Del Norte, O Cana-da
[VERSE I]
Bb Dm7 EbM7
It was snowtime, it was showtime, it was no time
F D/F# Gm F/A
To be lost in downtown Toronto
Bb Dm7
It was wintertime, ‘round dinnertime
Db Eb/G Ab Fm7
I’m beginning to see that the sunshine just doesn’t want to
Bb Dm7
From a side street come a backbeat
EbM7 F D/F# Gm F/A
Pulling on me like the moon pullin’ on the tide
Bb Dm7 Db
Ay caramba, one-note samba, la la la la bamba
Eb/G Ab
Lighting me up inside
[CHORUS]
F BbM7 C Dm Eb Gm7
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
F BbM7 C Dm Eb Gm7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
F BbM7 C Dm Eb Gm7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
F BbM7 C Dm Eb Gm7 Fm7
And every note was the anti-dote to December
[VERSE II]
Bb Dm7 EbM7
My first impression, some kind of procession
F D/F# Gm F/A
Pulling on a long line of fancy dancers
Bb Dm7
And a band stuck up on a flatbed truck
Db Eb/G Ab Fm7
They were raising a ruckus swinging for the fences
Bb Dm7
Exiled Mexican textile working
EbM7 F D/F# Gm F/A
Punching two clocks, sending two paychecks home, boys
Bb Dm7
Hard working law ‘biding bus riding people
Db Eb/G Ab
Celebration on wheels destination unknown
[CHORUS]
F BbM7 C Dm Eb Gm7
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
F BbM7 C Dm Eb Gm7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
F BbM7 C Dm Eb Gm7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
F BbM7 C Dm Eb
And every note was the anti-dote to December
[INTERLUDE]

Vi-a Del Norte
Fm7 Bb C
Oh Canada

[CHORUS]
G CM7 D Em F Am7
There was a lifeline south in the song coming from her mouth
G CM7 D Em F Am7
It swallowed me up and I followed it on downtown
G CM7 D Em F Am7
In the light of dawn the message that life goes on
G CM7 D Em F
For the frozen man an invitation to live again
G CM7 D Em F Am7
It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum
G CM7 D Em F Am7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
G CM7 D Em F Am7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
G CM7 D Em F C
And every note, the antidote to December
G CM7 D Em F Am7
They were shakin’ it loose with the juice from the mambo man
G CM7 D Em F Am7
Long lanky Yankee boy, Buckwheat and Spanky, my-my
