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 W^Cestern sky The sun is s^Cinking The geese are f^Glying South It sets me t^Fhinking

I did not m^Fiss you much I did not s^Guffer What did not k^Fill me Just made me t^Cougher

I feel the wi^Cnter come ^F His icy si^Cnews Now in the f^Gire light The case cont^Finues ^G Another n^Fight in court The same old t^Grial The same old q^Fuestions asked ^G The same d^Cenial

The shadows c^Close me round ^F Like jury me^Cmbers I look for a^Gnswers in The fire's ^Fembers ^G Why was I m^Fissing then That whole D^Gecember I give my u^Fsual lie: ^G I don't re^Cmember

Another w^Aminter comes His icy f^Gingers creep Into these b^Fones of mine These memories n^Cever sleep And all these d^Gifferences ^F A cloak I bo^Grrow We kept our di^Fstances Why should it f^Follo^Gw I must have lo^Cved you

^AmWhat is the force that b^Ginds the stars ^FI wore this mask to h^Cide my ^Gscars ^AmWhat is the power that p^Gulls the tide ^FI never could find a p^Clace to h^Gide ^AmWhat moves the Earth ar^Gound the sun ^FWhat could I do but r^Cun and ^Grun and r^Fun ^FAfraid to love, afraid to fail ^FA mast without a s^Gail

The moon's a fi^Dngernail and ^Aslowly si^Dnking Another d^Aay begins and now I'm th^Ginking ^A That this i^Gndifference was my in^Avention When everyt^Ghing I did sought your a^A7ttention

You were my c^Dompass star ^A You were my m^Deasure You were a p^Airate's map A buried tr^Geasure ^A If this was a^Gll correct The last thing I^A'd expect The prosec^Gution rests It's time that ^A7I confess: I must have lo^Dved you
