Sting - Ghost Story

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 .

C
i watch the western sky
C
the sun is sinking
G
the geese are flying south
F
it sets me thinking

F
i did not miss you much
G
i did not suffer
F
what did not kill me
C
just made me tougher

C F
i feel the winter come
C
his icy sinews
G
now in the fire light
F G
the case continues
F
another night in court
G
the same old trial
F G
the same old questions asked
C
the same denial

C F
the shadows close me round
C
like jury members
G
i look for answers in
F G
the fire’s embers
F
why was i missing then
G
that whole december
F G
i give my usual lie :
C
i don’t remember

Am
another winter comes
G
his icy fingers creep
F
into these bones of mine
C
these memories never sleep
G F
and all these differences
G
a cloak i borrow
F
we kept our distances
F G C
why should it follow i must have loved you

Am G
what is the force that binds the stars
F C G
i wore this mask to hide my scars
Am G
what is the power that pulls the tide
F C G
i never could find a place to hide
Am G
what moves the earth around the sun
F C G F
what could i do but run and run and run
F
afraid to love , afraid to fail
F G
a mast without a sail

D A D
the moon’s a fingernail and slowly sinking
A G A
another day begins and now i’m thinking
G A
that this indifference was my invention
G A7
when everything i did sought your attention

D A
you were my compass star
D
you were my measure
A
you were a pirate’s map
G A
a buried treasure
G
if this was all correct
A
the last thing i’d expect
G
the prosecution rests
A7 D
it’s time that i confess : i must have loved you

G A A7 D
