(Am E7 Am E7 )
Wintertime….and the heater is pumping
Bills are rising, and emissions are high
Heat is leaking, out the roof and the walls
This house isn’t cosy, what can I do…?
Summertime…and the suns heat is beating
Through my windows, and through my walls
My aircon is old, and needs too much power
This house is a hot box, what can I do…?
Summertime… and the living is easy
windows are shaded, insulation is cool
Rooftop solar, means my bills they are dropping
My new aircon system needs so much less power
Wintertime…and the living is easy
All the gaps are sealed, and insulation is high
Windows face the North and catch the sunshine
Don’t need so much heating, emissions are low
