*** A little note. When playing these chords I usually just play the bottom strings more
the top strings, it just sounds better that way. Also, with the Pre-Chorus, between the
and then Em9, and the Am9 and Bm11, you slide up the fretboard. It takes a while to get 
putting your fingers in that position, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad.
plays it with a specific strumming pattern and if you listen to the song you can figure 
out pretty easily. Good luck!

[Verse]
                             
Well it's time to begin as the summer sets in
          Bm11                     E7#9
It's the scene. You set for new lovers
                             
You play your part painting in a new start
         Bm11               E7#9
But each gate will open another

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm9    -slide-   Em9 Am9   -slide up to Bm11-

[Chorus]
                                
Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
                  
Gatekeeper you held your breath
                        
Made the summer go on and on

[Verse]
                                
Well they tried to stay in from the cold and wind
        Bm11                     E7#9
Making love and making their dinner
                                            Bm11
Only to find that the love that they grew in the summer
E7#9
Froze

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm9 -slide- Em9 Am9    -slide up to Bm11-

Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
                  
Gatekeeper you held your breath
                        
Made the winter go on and on
