Ok, here's my version of Winter by Tori Amos as far as I could
figure it out. It's hard to play Tori's ingenious music on guitar
but I decided to give it a shot.
This is definitely _not_ the original key, but I didn't
manage to get any closer yet. But maybe this helps some of
you to get it right. I'd be happy to get corrections
and suggestions at twist@uni-paderborn.de


Winter - Tori Amos


Am G C D G Am
Snow can wait I forgot my mittens

G C Am
wipe my nose get my new boots on

G C D G Am
Get a little warm in my heart when I think of Winter

G C Am
I put my hand in my father's glove

Am G C D G Am
I run off where the DRIFTS GET DEEPER

Am G C Am
sleeping beauty trips me with a frown

Am G C D G Am
I hear a voice "you must learn to stand up

G C Am
for yourself cause I can't always be around" he says

C D
when you gonna make up your mind <-play after this line>-2--0-------
-3--3--3----
C D -------2----
when you gonna love you as much as I do ------------
------------
C D ------------
when you gonna make up your mind

F C Am
cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast

F C Am
all the white horses are still in bed

F C Am
I tell you that I'll always want you near

F C Am
you say that things change my dear

Am G C D G Am
boys get discovered as winter MELTS

Am G C Am
flowers competing for the sun

Am G C D G Am
years go by and I'm here still waiting

Am G C Am
withering where some snowman was

Am G C D G Am
mirror mirror where's the crystal palace

Am G C Am
but I only can see myself

Am G C D G Am
SKATING around the truth who I am

Am G C Am
but I know dad the ice is getting thin

Am G C D G Am
hair is grey and the and the fires are burning

Am G C Am
so many dreams on the shelf

Am G C D G Am
you say I wanted you to be PROUD of me

Am G C C
I always wanted that myself he says

C D
when you gonna make up your mind

C D
when you gonna love you as much as I do

C D
when you gonna make up your mind

F C Am
cause things are gonna change so fast

F C Am
all the WHITE HORSES have gone ahead

F C Am
I tell you that I'll always want you near

F C Am
you say that things change my dear


NOTE: I think it sounds better if you don't play all the
chord changes but let the previous chord fade and
play about every second chord.
