(Original song in key of C#m I have stepped up half a step to avoid having to capo
on 11 when DADGADing! I have to sing down the octave, but some voices might be able to make it
 
These chord shapes I've listed below aren't as erroneous as they might seem. All the
zero's, though  not completely true to the chord name mentioned here, work in very
well as a Celtic drone. The DADGAD tuning being modal is ok for both D and Dm key, which
is pretty good for this song as it seems to change key from minor to major between
the verse and chorus.
 
Awesome gratitude to @shebeast29 for original transcribing of the chords.

[Verse 1]
Dm   Bb     F        C
Cold as the northern winds
    Dm   Bb Am    F
In December mornings,
Dm   Bb     F        C
Cold is the cry that rings
          Bb    Am     Dm
From this far distant shore.
 
[Verse 2]
Dm  Bb     F        C
Winter has come too late
    Dm   Bb Am   F
Too close beside me.
Dm  Bb    F     C
How can I chase away
          Bb    Am   Dm
All these fears deep inside?
 
[Chorus 1]
D    Bm       G     A  D
I'll wait the signs to come.
Bm   Gmaj7  A
I'll find a way
D     Bm        G    A  D
I will wait the time to come.
Bm   Gmaj7  A   D
I'll find a way home.
 
[Verse 3]
Dm  Bb         F      C
My light shall be the moon
    Dm   Bb Am    F
And my path - the ocean.
Dm Bb    F           C
My guide the morning star
     Bb   Am      Dm
As I sail home to you.
 
[Chorus 2]
D    Bm       G     A  D
I'll wait the signs to come.
Bm   Gmaj7  A
I'll find a way
D     Bm        G    A  D
I will wait the time to come.
Bm   Gmaj7  A   D
I'll find a way home.
 
[Verse 4]
Dm  Bb       F       C
Who then can warm my soul?
    Dm  Bb  Am   F
Who can quell my passion?
Dm  Bb       F          C
Out of these dreams - a boat
       Bb   Am      Dm
I will sail home to you.
