Chords

I think these are pretty accurate chords. To play it like the Fiona track, pay attention to inversions. Enjoy! [Note: Fdim7/Db can also be thought of as Db7(add9)] ---------------------------------
Ab6      Cdim   Ab6                              Cdim
Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year

Ab6               Cdim   Ab6                           Cdim
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin

Ab6                Cdim     Ab6                              Cdim
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared

Ab6                   Cdim     Ab6                            Cdim
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
Fdim7 Fdim7/Db But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full Fdim7 Fdim7/Db And sank in the burrows of my keep Gb Absus4 Ebm7 Gb
Absus4   Ebm7
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
Gb Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 Gb
    Absus4    Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Cdim Ab6 Cdim Ab6 Cdim Ab6 Cdim Ab6 Cdim
Ab6           Cdim    Ab6        Cdim
He goes along just as a water lily

Ab6           Cdim    Ab6                          Cdim
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats

Ab6      Cdim   Ab6                 Cdim
Unweighed down by passion or intensity

Ab6                Cdim   Ab6               Cdim
Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
Fdim7 Fdim7/Db And he finds a home in me Fdim7 Fdim7/Db For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap Gb Absus4 Ebm7 Gb
Absus4   Ebm7
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
Gb Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 Gb
Absus4   Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Fdim7 Fdim7/Db Fdim7 Fdim7/Db
Gb      Absus4    Ebm7     Gb     Absus4   Ebm7
All my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
Gb Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 Gb
Absus4   Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Gb Absus4 Ebm7 Gb Absus4
  Ebm7
All my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
Gb Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 Gb
Absus4   Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Gb Absus4 Ebm7... (repeat to the end)
