I used only Acoustic guitar takamine ES serie  and Mélodica

and here is the translation of the lyrics, and the chords

 

Intro`:
 G (320003) C/G (3X2013) (4x)


 G C/G G
 Just like the idol of my youth
 Em9 (024000) D/F# (2X023X) C/G (3X2010)
 I was dreaming about the wings on my skates
 Em9 D/F# C G Am
 Glide silently through life without clumsiness
               Em D/A (X0023X)
 Without injury and grief


 G C/G G
 I dreamed of playing for the stars
 Em9 D/F# C/G (3X2010)
 And to thwart destiny
 Em9 D/F# C G Am
 One fine morning love would come to inflate my sails
             Em D/A (X0023X)
 Gentle and afraid of nothing


 Am9 (X0550X) Am6/9 (X0450X) Am9 Am6/9
 Ouuuuu Ouuuu Ouuuu Ouuuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuuu Ouuuuu
 G C/G G
 Heart right side up, heart upside down
 Em9 D/F# Am9 Am6/9
 Ouuuuu Ouuuu Ouuuu Ouuuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuu Ouuuu Ouuuuu
 G D/F# G
 I tell myself a winter story


 G C/G G
 I'm no longer anyone's little guy.
 Em9 D/F# C/G (3X2010)
 And my idol is on the bench
 Em9 D/F# C G Am
 I've had my share of bad stories and good times
           Em D/A (X0023X)
 I have a wife and children


 G C/G G
 But every autumn when the weather gets shorter
 Em9 D/F# C/G (3X2010)
 I see the winter I grew up in
 Em9 D/F# C G Am
 And I dash out into the silence, the ice is smooth
           Em D/A (X0023X)
 I skate until the end of the night

This is really gorgeous. I love the harmony vocals.

And, I'm going to have to drag out my melodica. It sounds great here.

Really knocked out by this.

[Jean Pierre]

a lovely piece...indeed...

[Greeny]

Taking a break from work with a strong coffee, and this is a lovely piece to relax to. Just beautiful. The playing, vocals and harmonies are absolutely brilliant. I love that wistful / slightly melancholic melody too.

[Jean Pierre]

Thank you Stephen,
thank you Greeny

Taking a break from work with a strong coffee, and this is a lovely piece to relax to

Try after work, tonight, with a whisky... it's even better.
