Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com)

The album backing track appears to be very slightly sharp of standard
concert pitch, so to play along use a chromatic tuner and tune all
the strings up approx. +10

Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the webpage might automatically
suggest, and use the shapes suggested below. Most are relatively simple,
and moveable chords, which maintain open ringing strings.

     Before the winter fire,      I will still be dreaming,
A     A4       A         E    E4 E    Badd11               Aadd9
   I have no thought of time,   ...for who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes--------?

   Sad deserted shore,      ...your fickle friends are leaving--------,

   Ah, but then you know    ...it's time for them     ...to go---------!

[Verse 4]
      F#m           G#m      Am             G#m
But... I will still be here,     I have no thought of leaving,
A      A4      A         E   E4 E      Badd11              Aadd9
   I...do not count the time,     ..for who knows where the time goes?

    E               F#m11/E               Emaj7         F#m11/E
And I am not alone,         while my love     ...is near me,
E                       F#m11/E                    Emaj7   F#m11/E
   I know it will be so,         until it's time to go-------------!

[Verse 6]
     F#m                 G#m   Am                       G#m
So...come the storms of winter,...and then the birds of ...spring again,
A    A4       A        E    E4 E     Badd11           Aadd9
   I have no fear of time,       for who knows how my love grows?
