Текст песни Sting - August Winds

August Winds
Sting
Lots of beautiful chords underpin this song from Sting's 2013 The Last Ship album. 

This tune is picked - Sting tends to pick the bass note then two or three higher notes, 
so for each of the chords I've indicated just the strings that he picks on the piece - 

I hope that it makes sense!

Standard tuning, Capo 2

=======
When Au -gust  winds  are   turn-ing
The fishing boats set out    u-pon   the  sea
  F/Bm                      
I watch 'til they sail out of sight
           (2)        
The winter   follows   soon
  F/Bm                     
I watch them drawn in-to the night
Be-neath the August   moon

=======
No  one   knows  I     come here
Some things I      don't sha -are
  F/Bm                     
I can't ex-plain the reasons why
       (2)          
It moves me close to tears
   F/Bm                    
Or something in the season's change
Will find me wandering here

=======
And in  my    pub   -lic   mo  -ments
                             B/Cm   
I hear the things I say but they're not me
                    F/Bm    
Per-haps I'll know be-fore I die
Ad-mit that there's a reason why
  (2)                              B/Cm
I count the boats re-turning to the sea
  (2)                           
I count the boats re-turning to the sea

=======
And in  my    pri   -vate  mo  -ments
                              B/Cm   
I drop the mask that I've been forced to wear
    (2)             F/Bm    
But no-one knows this secret me
Where albeit un-consciously
  (2)                                B/Cm
I count the boats re-turning from the sea
  (2)                          
I count the boats re-turning from the sea
                 Oooh  oooh  oooh
     Oooh oooh oooh

I hope I've done it justice!
