[Intro]
G C G C

[Verse 1]
G                    C
How do you know that it's 
winter again?
G                       C
For me, it's the hallways
G                     
And gathering 'round, 
        C
spewing empty amens
G                      D    C
And laughing hard with eyes glazed

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm          Em
And I wanna be,
Am        G
more than anything
Am               G     D
Just a hair less tragic
Bm          Em
So let's go get a tree
F
and stuff it in the trunk
C                     D
Just to Google how to put it up

[Chorus]
G                  
And you wonder how 
     D            C
your parents did it
G           D                 C
When do you know somewhere is home?
G                     
It'd be great to have 
     D         C
some Christmas spirit
A
Or friends that live close
C                                Bm
But I'm just as much a fantasist
As I'm a lone ghost

[Verse 2]
G                      C
Last night I went on a walk after 1
G                         C
Big Dipper was a spectacle
G                             
But it didn't even come close 
       C
to the frеshly-mowed lawns
G                
And the wasteful 
        D     C
outdoor light fеstivals

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm           Em
No you don't understand,
Am                G
I deeply love the sentiment
Am            G      
If only Santa wasn't 
           D
spoiled at six
Bm            Em
It'd probably all be different,
F        G
and come December 10th
C                      
I probably wouldn't be 
           D
seasonally anemic (Hahaha)
One, two, three

[Chorus]
G                  
And you wonder how 
     D       C
your parents did it
G           D    
When do you know 
             C
somewhere is home?
G                     
It'd be great to have 
     D         C
some Christmas spirit
A
Or friends that live close
C                      Cm
But I'm just as much a fantasist
As I'm a lone ghost

[Outro]
G D C
Oh, ooh, oh
G
I'm a lone ghost

How to play Hallway Weather: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Hallway Weather by NIKI (Nicole Zefanya) on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Hallway Weather by NIKI (Nicole Zefanya) is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 9 chords: G, C, D, Bm, Em, Am, F, A and Cm.

Listen for C – G – D – C (IV – I – V – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm, F and Cm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
