Winter Has Me in It's Grip - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

First track on McLean's 5th album Homeless Brother (United Artists 1974). Nice tune, no more, no less.   This song came to me through my good buddy Roy Bakkeng (1953-2011). We played and worked together in the good old days. I owe him my preference for Don McLean, the McGarrigles and Al Stewart. And my interest for photography as well. Not to forget an Ovation Balladeer ...
G              Bm
winter has me in it's grip
Am                 D7
think I'll take a summer trip
Am          D7                     F                 D7
on a sunny sailing ship where the shells lie in the sand

G          Em7              Am7                D7
I feel so lonely : I'm too young to feel this old
       G            Em7
I need you and you only
          Am7               D7
when the weather gets this cold
