Windy night
C Dm
1. When the angry sky, opens up its mouth,
G
F
C
and
lays down a belt of rain from the north to the south,
C
- Dm
close
your windows and close all
your doors,
G
C
and
pray for those men who fall upon rocky shores.
C
Dm
2. And when the hungry road, points its finger at your heart,
G C
and
says, "Stranger follow me, I will show you where to start."
Dm
Well, don't make a move, to
the left or the right,
G
or
them hounds are gonna get you, send you running, screaming
F C
through
the stormy night.
G C
Dm
And one windy night, a
flickering light,
G
C
caught
the eye of a passing angel as she was in flight.
C Dm
She came to the door, and
there she saw
G F C
a
young soldier crying, as he lay dying from a wound of war.
C
Dm
3. Then that angel of the Lord, took the form of a girl,
G C
and
knelt by the boy and said, "I will help you to that other world.
G
C
Dm
Oh, rest your weary soul, lay your head upon my shoulder,
G F
C
press
your trembling hand in mine until this night is over.
C
Dm
For that devil wants you, but
you are a soldier,
G
and
with a friend by your side there's no need to hide,
F C
until
the fight is over."
C - Dm G
F C
Na na
na na ..... oh, Lord, on this windy night.
C - Dm G
F C
Na na na na ..... oh, Lord, on this
windy night.
C
Dm
4. So if you need help, on a windy night,
G C
be
sure to leave a candle burning so a friend can see the light.
C
Dm
There maybe a
stranger come looking for you,
G F
and
it may be an angel of the Lord come to bring you better news
C
on a
windy night !
C - Dm G
F C
Na na na na ..... oh, Lord, on this
windy night.
C
Dm G F C
Oh, hear me, hear me, Lord, oh, oh, Lord, on my windy night
!
C Dm G F C
Oh, hear me, Lord, oh, Lord on
my windy night.
+ C - Dm - G - F - C (2x) ....
