I don't actually know if this is the original key, but it's easy to play,
even after the key change. It's not really a guitar song but what I tried
to illustrate in the chords is that I think it should start out simple and
get more complex as it goes on. You can elaborate on that by switching from
slow, even strums to faster and more syncopated strums. I feel like it
should break open at "another winter" and again at "the moon's a fingernail."
I also put in four chords at the end that I think make a nice ending. Comments welcome please.


I watch the WFestern sky
The sun is sFinking
The geese are fGlying South
It sets me tChinking

I did not mCiss you much
I did not sGuffer
What did not kCill me
Just made me tFougher

I feel the wiFnter come C 
His icy siFnews
Now in the fGire light
The case contCinues   G 
Another nCight in court
The same old tGrial
The same old qCuestions asked   G 
The same dFenial

The shadows cFlose me round  C 
Like jury meFmbers
I look for aGnswers in
The fire's Cembers   G 
Why was I mCissing then
That whole DGecember
I give my uCsual lie:  G 
I don't reFmember

Another wfinter comes
His icy fGingers creep
Into these bCones of mine
These memories nFever sleep
And all these dGifferences   C 
A cloak I boGrrow
We kept our diCstances
Why should it fColloGw I must have loFved you

fWhat is the force that bGinds the stars
CI wore this mask to hFide my Gscars
fWhat is the power that pGulls the tide
CI never could find a pFlace to hGide
fWhat moves the Earth arGound the sun
CWhat could I Do but rFun and Grun and rCun
CAfraid to love, afraid to fail
CA mast without a sGail

The moon's a fiGngernail and Fslowly siGnking
Another dFay begins and now I'm thGinking  F 
That this iGndifference was my inFvention
When everytGhing I did sought your aF7ttention

You were my cGompass star   F 
You were my mGeasure
You were a pFirate's map
A buried trGeasure    F 
If this was aGll correct
The last thing IF'd expect
The prosecGution rests
It's time that F7I confess: I must have loGved you
