Carried On The Wind

Tom : Am
Am

[Verse]
N.C. Am
It's cold along the coast tonight
Em Am
The wind is on the rise
Am
There's a storm come up from Africa
Em Am
And it's tearing up the skies
D C
The sand from the Sahara
G D
Cuts deep into your skin
Am
Close your eyes so you cannot see
Em Am Em
What's carried on the wind, the wind
C D Am Em Am Em Am
What's carried on the wind

[Verse]
Am
People talk in whispers
Em Am
People hide their eyes
Am
The wind blows ever stronger
Em Am
And it covers up their cries
D C G
They close down the shutters
D
They bar the door
Am
The wind taps at the window
Em Am Em
Like a painted whore, the whore
C D Am
Like a painted whore

[Instrumental]
D   Am   D   Am   D   Am   D   C   E   Am

[Verse]
Am
I will hold you close tonight
Em Am
I will keep you warm
Am
I will keep the dream alive
Em Am
And stand against the storm
D C G
As long as I am able
D
I will not bend
Am
I will be true to you
Em Am Em
And faithful to the end, the end
C D Am Em Am Em Am
And faithful to the end

[Instrumental]
Am   Em   Am   Em   Am   D   C   G   D   Em   C   D   Am

[Verse]
Am
When the final bell is tolled
Em Am
Will we shake in fear?
Am
Or raise our glass just one more time
Em Am
Pretend we didn't hear
D C
We think that we're immortal
G D
Somehow the song lives on
Am
Maybe whistled in the wind
Em Am Em
When everything is gone, is gone
C D Am
When everything is gone

[Outro]
Am   G   F   C   Am
