Intro: G 
                     C      G 
On a midnight survey of the town 

No place special, just around 
    C                                     G 
The snow fell down like feathers from the sky 


                             C        G 
And all the good people were in their beds 

With the reading lamps on overhead 
        C                          G 
And the curtains drawn against the night 



F          G 
Quiet now, softly now 
F               G   F   G   F   G 
Careful how you go 


                  C      G 
House to house to garden gate 

People waiting on buses, that left too late 
C                                        G 
Too late now, they're wishing they were home 


                          C          G 
It gets slippery here, so watch your step 

We don't wanna break the spell just yet 
    C                             G 
The ice is thin, but maybe it'll hold 


 
F          G 
Quiet now, softly now 
F               G 
Careful how you go 

 
F          G 
Quiet now, softly now 
F               G    
Careful how you go 


            Bm      Am7 C 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Em  D/F# G   D   C     D/F# G   D/F# G 
Ooh ooh  ooh ooh ooh  


     G               C      G 
On a midnight survey of the town 

No place special, just around 
    C                                     G 
The snow fell down like feathers from the sky 


 
F          G 
Quiet now, softly now 
F               G 
Careful how you go 

 
F          G 
Quiet now, softly now 
F               G  
Careful how you go
