Desert Wind
View chords used in this chart
Am E Am
There's a wind blowing down the canyon
Dm E
so hot and dry the rocks turn red.
Am E Am
Shade grows thin and shrinks to nothing
Dm E Am
as the sun climbs overhead.
[Refrão]
F C
What can I say? You said it all.
F E
Your words ride on the desert wind,
Am
telling me about tomorrow
Dm E Am
and how a heart can love again.
Am E Am
Did you see the stars while you were sleeping
Dm E
as they crossed the midnight sky?
Am E Am
could hear my own heart beating
Dm E Am
in the stillness of the night.
(Chorus)
Am E Am
It's all alone with the earth and sky,
Dm E
the nights are long, the days go slow.
Am E Am
Your loving way, like the wind, reminds me
Dm E Am
there is so much that I don't know.
(Chorus)
