Hi! I know that the finger-picking style actually used in the song is more 
complicated but I put this together for those who just want to strum along.
[Intro]
Am Em F G C
[Verse]
AmNow I see Emwinter's dawn
FThe wind Gturns traitor Ccold
AmSeems long Emsince summer time
FAnd the stories Gthat were Ctold
AmWe spoke of Emdreams that came
FTo us Gwhen we Cwere young
AmBut as the Emmorning rose
FWe spoke Gwith forked Ctongues
[Chorus]
DmMy love is a Gfleeting one
DmMy man could be Ganyone
CAnd our lFovDme is a Gsetting sun
[Verse]
AmAs we took those Emevening walks
FDown through Gthe gravCeyard
AmThose names Emengraved always
FPut a new shade Gto my Cthoughts
AmBut he and I, Emwe both knew
FThe bread Gthat we Cbreak
AmWould never Emtake their place
FWhat's cold, you Gmustn't Cawait
[Chorus]
DmMy life is a Gfleeting one
DmMy work is just Ga web I've spun
COh my FliDmfe is a Gsetting sun
[Bridge]
EmI don't know Amwhere I'm going
CBut no one is coming wEmith me
EmI won't give up chasing Amlove, son
CHere I go, look at me Emrun
FHere I go
Look at Gme run
FHere I go
Look at Gme run
[Chorus]
DmMy love is a Gfleeting one
DmMy man could be Ganyone
CAnd our lFovDme is a Gsetting sun
DmMy life is a Gfleeting one
DmMy work is just Ga web I've spun
COh my FliDmfe is a Gsetting sun
[End verse]
AmBaffled by tEmhe lies we blamed
FWe met Gthe end too Csoon
AmI was honest Emwhen I told you
We're as Fcryptic Gas Cthe moon

The bread that we break

Would never take their place
