Across A Painted Sky

E D E D E D E D E There's a half moon in the distance G Troubles on the rise E Carried by the wind you could G See it in her eyes E Daughter of a rich man G Her daddy knew him well A He swore that if he touched her G He'd end up in hell E They were barely eighteen G Children at the time E No one ever doubted G They were partners in crime E She was wild and wreckless G He was just the same A The fire that burned inside them E Would never be tamed C#m G#m Ooh - Whenever night winds cry, Amaj7 They say that lovers in the night Are calling each other G#m To say that it's all right Amaj7 Far away from the angry storm G#m That made their heart aches die Amaj7 They would ride on the desperate wind B G A G A That writes its name across a painted sky E Everybody knows it G But no one says a word E They never found the lovers G And they knew they never would E But someone lit a candle G That turned into a flame B And burned its way to dawn E Only ashes remain C#m G#m Ooh - Whenever night winds cry, Amaj7 They say that lovers in the night Are calling each other G#m To say that it's all right Amaj7 Far away from the angry storm G#m That made their heart aches die Amaj7 They would ride on the desperate wind B G A G A That writes its name across a painted sky C#m G#m Ooh - Whenever night winds cry, Amaj7 They say that lovers in the night Are calling each other G#m To say that it's all right Amaj7 Far away from the angry storm G#m That made their heart aches die Amaj7 They would ride on the desperate wind B G E G E That writes its name across a painted sky From Paul Cotton "Firebird" Futuredge Records 2000 Warner Chappel/Music Cabin(ASCAP) Paul Cotton vocals/guitar Richard Neville bass Joe Morris drums Carl McGregor keyboards Rusty Young lap steel/vocals Bill Lloyd vocal
