[INTRO]
[Cm] (repeat)

[VERSE]
The [Cm]wind is a-whipping through the open door

speaking of the sea and the rolling waves
[Eb]Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now

or struggling on the surface with a cry for help
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you

[Cm]Twenty years ago was a howling storm

like the voice of a god from the great beyond
I was [Eb]standing on the shore as the sky grew dark

with a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you

[CHORUS]
Because [Eb]all I have [Bb]left is the [Fm]voice of the [Cm]wind
[Ab]blowing through the [Bb]doors of our [Cm]house!

[VERSE]
The [Cm]sun was drying up the rain in our sky

Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by
Re[Eb]member what they're singing on their way to the sea:

"Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me"
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]Wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you

[Cm]Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived

as the grave that I dug by our place on the beach
[Eb]How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea

so I can go and get you back ashore with me
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]Wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you

CHORUS (3 times)
Because [Eb]all I have [Bb]left is the [Fm]voice of the [Cm]wind
[Ab]blowing through the [Bb]doors of our [Cm]house!

[OUTRO]
[Cm] (repeat)
