Note to editors: I submitted this a few days ago but then realized all the Ab6
chords are actually Ab7. Below is the corrected version. Please replace the old
one. Also why was Gb changed to F#? Please leave Gb as is, since it's more natural
to see all flats in a song. THANKS!
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)]

Fiona Apple - Pale September
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 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
F# Absus4 Ebm7 F# Absus4 Ebm7
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
F# Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 F# Absus4 Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Cdim
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
He goes along just as a water lily
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 Cdim
Unweighed down by passion or intensity
Ab7 Cdim Ab7 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
F# Absus4 Ebm7 F# Absus4 Ebm7
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
F# Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 F# Absus4 Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Fdim7 Fdim7/Db Fdim7 Fdim7/Db
F# Absus4 Ebm7 F# Absus4 Ebm7
All my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
F# Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 F# Absus4 Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
F# Absus4 Ebm7 F# Absus4 Ebm7
All my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
F# Absus4 Ebm7 Absus4 F# Absus4 Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Gb Absus4 Ebm7... (repeat to the end)
