                      Greg Lake: Footprints in the snow
                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Transcription by:    Rainer Boettchers (boettchers.pad@sni.de)
                     Paderborn/Germany, July 1996

Tuning:              EADGBE (Standard)

Comments:            As this song is rather simple (compared to other songs
                     from Greg Lake) this is only a .CRD file.
                     Greg, as usual, inserts some variations.
                     Some special chord forms:
                     Dmaj*   = short switches between Dmaj and Dsus4add9 no 5th
                               (xx0232 and xx0032, just lift your index finger 
and
                               hammer on again)
                     Dmaji1  = 1st inversion Dmaj (xx4232, use pinky
		               for 4th fret on D4)

*** Intro:

   Dsus4n5      Dsus4n5   Dmaji1         
                     
*** Main theme/bridge:

*                            
First time when you looked at me ...

You tried to hide but I could see

                         *
A special beauty in your eyes

                            
Passion flying like a spark ...

Like an arrow to the mark

                         *
I feel it sting my jealousy

                                  *
Before you know there's footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

*                     
Desire like a river flows ...

Where it comes from no one knows

                         *
It isn't heard, it isn't seen

                              
Love just like a flower grows ...

And then God only knows

                         *    
It comes down like guillotine ... 

      
Now I feel the rain

                        
of love torn by a hurricane ...

                           
One night eclipsed the sun ... 

               *
How deep still waters run

                                *
How deep they go like footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

*                        
Take my love into your brest ...

Commit my spirit to the test

You'll see him like a knight

           *
His armour gleams

                                 
We'll fly upon his angel's wings ...
                            
Above the clouds in rainbow rings

                      *  
We can sail a ship of dreams ...

            
If you will take my hand

                              
We can cross this desert made of sand ...

                            
We can break in through the ice ...

                 
Feel the wind of paradise

                                 *
We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

*                  
Anytime you feel alone ...

Just raise your hand, pick up the phone

                             *
Tap in my number, there I'll be

                                  
If one day your stars won't shine ...

I will give you some of mine

                             *   
Cause they could fall so easily   ...... 

            
If you will take my hand

                              
We can cross this desert made of sand ...

                            
We can break in through the ice ...

                 
Feel the wind of paradise

                                 *
We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

                               
We both know there's footprints in the snow
