Sting – Ghost Story chords
Chords:
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.CI watch the Western skyCThe sun is sinkingGThe geese are flying SouthFIt sets me thinkingFI did not miss you muchGI did not sufferFWhat did not kill meCJust made me tougherC FI feel the winter comeCHis icy sinewsGNow in the fire lightF G The case continuesFAnother night in courtGThe same old trialF GThe same old questions askedCThe same denialC FThe shadows close me roundCLike jury membersGI look for answers inF GThe fire's embersFWhy was I missing thenGThat whole DecemberF GI give my usual lie:CI don't rememberAmAnother winter comesGHis icy fingers creepFInto these bones of mineCThese memories never sleepG FAnd all these differencesGA cloak I borrowFWe kept our distancesF G CWhy should it follow I must have loved youAm GWhat is the force that binds the starsF C GI wore this mask to hide my scarsAm GWhat is the power that pulls the tideF C GI never could find a place to hideAm GWhat moves the Earth around the sunF C G FWhat could I do but run and run and runFAfraid to love, afraid to failF GA mast without a sailD A DThe moon's a fingernail and slowly sinkingA G AAnother day begins and now I'm thinkingG AThat this indifference was my inventionG A7When everything I did sought your attentionD AYou were my compass starDYou were my measureAYou were a pirate's mapG AA buried treasureGIf this was all correctAThe last thing I'd expectGThe prosecution restsA7 DIt's time that I confess: I must have loved youG A A7 D
