This isn't one of their most famous songs, but it sure is a great one. What a beautiful use of the suspended 2 chord which rings throughout the song. Beautiful lyrics that you can really imagine in your mind, and such a melancholy groove it's wonderful to listen to on a Sunday afternoon.
Unfortunately, all the guitar chord charts I could find online are wrong, so here are the correct ones.
You could play the Dsus2 like this x00750 which I think is how he plays it. Or you could just play a standard Dsus2 in open position xx0230.

Intro: | Dsus2 | A | repeat 3x
| E D | E |
Dsus2 A
And it sure been a cold, cold winter
Dsus2 A
And the wind ain't been blowin' from the south
Dsus2 A
It's sure been a cold, cold winter
Dsus2 A
And a lotta love is all burned out
Dsus2 A
It sure been a hard, hard winter,
Dsus2 A
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground
D A
And I hope it's gonna be a long, hot summer,
E D E
and a lotta love... will be burnin' bright
Dsus2 E
And I wish I been out in California
Dsus2 E
when the lights on all the Christmas trees went out
Dsus2 E
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,
Dsus2 E
and the restoration plays have all gone 'round
Dsus2 A
It sure been a cold, cold winter,
Dsus2 A
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground
Dsus2 A
And the fields has all been brown and fallow,
E Dsus2 E
and the springtime take a long way around
D E
Yeah, and I wish I been out in Stone Canyon
Dsus2 E
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out
D sus2 E
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,
Dsus2 E
and the restoration plays have all gone 'round
[Dsus2 and A for the rest of the song...]
Sometimes I think about you, baby,
Sometimes I cry about you.
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,
Sometimes I wanna keep you warm.
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,
Sometimes I wanna but I can't afford you.
