[Verse 1]
Cmaj7                        Fmaj7
Snow is falling in Manhattan
Cmaj7                      Fmaj7
In a slow diagonal fashion
Cmaj7                         Fmaj7
On the Sabbath, as it happens
G
Snow is falling in Manhattan
      Cmaj7                            Fmaj7
If it looks like it might be a bad one
     Cmaj7                           Fmaj7
The good caretaker springs to action
Cmaj7                                 Fmaj7
Salts the stoop and scoops the cat in
G
Tests an icy patch for traction


[Chorus]
C    F
Snow
                                C   F
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
                                C   F
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
               F
Snow, oh, whoa, Snow, oh, whoa
               F
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa


[Verse 2]
Cmaj7                       Fmaj7
Levels rising on the island
Cmaj7                           Fmaj7
Shows no sign of soon subsiding
Cmaj7                            Fmaj7
Drifting deeply down in Brooklyn
G
So much joy in merely looking
  Cmaj7                          Fmaj7
Inside he's got a fire crackling
    Cmaj7                           Fmaj7
And on the couch, beneath an afghan
Cmaj7                              Fmaj7
Lies an old friend he just took in
G
Seeking shelter from the cold wind

[Verse 3]
Cmaj7                      Fmaj7
Coming down in smithereens
   Cmaj7                           Fmaj7
On Staten Island, Bronx and Queens
     Cmaj7                       Fmaj7
It's blanketing the city streets
        G
And the streets beneath are fast asleep
Cmaj7                            Fmaj7
Songs build little rooms in time
    Cmaj7                           Fmaj7
And housed within the song's design
       Cmaj7                          Fmaj7
Is the ghost the host has left behind
   G
To greet and sweep the guest inside
 G
Stoke the fire and sing his lines


[Chorus]
C    F
Snow
                                C   F
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
                                C   F
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
               F
Snow, oh, whoa, Snow, oh, whoa
               F
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa

[Outro]
Cmaj7                        Fmaj7
Snow is falling in Manhattan
   Cmaj7                         Fmaj7
Inside I've got a fire crackling
    Cmaj7                           Fmaj7
And on the couch, beneath an afghan
G
You're the old friend I just took in
