Blown By The Wind
Ian Bairnson      (klr)

intro high E string
E|-9-12-14-14-12-12--9-12-14-14-12-12--9-10-9-10-9-10-9-7-5-7

[D] All along the shoreline there are [A] footprints by the sea
They [Esus] head into the [E] distance then they [F#m] lead right
back to me
I [D] made the break to freedom now Im [A] following the dream
Youre [Esus] never going to [E] get here if you [F#m] hold the old
routine

Now [D] everything that we possess that [A] fills our empty lives
Is [D] only good for [Bm] leaving far be [E] hind

We are [F#m] blown by the [A] wind, just like [D] clouds in the [A]
sky
We [D] dont know where were [Bm] going dont know [E] why
We just [F#m] ride with the [A] wind and well [D] drive through the
[A] rain
We [Bm] dont know where well get to or if [D] well get back [E]
again

[D] Call along the valley and you just [A] may find us there
I [Esus] couldnt say for [E] sure because we [F#m] may be anywhere
[D] Head into the sunset or just [A] wander out to sea
[Esus] Wherever your heart [E] leads you is the [F#m] place your
meant to be

And [D] someone who could be impressed [A] with ordinary lies
Could [D] really use a [Bm] little peace of [E] mind

We are [F#m] blown by the [A] wind just like [D] clouds in the [A]
sky
We [D] dont know where well [Bm] go, but well get [E] by
We just [F#m] ride with the [A] wind and well [D] drive through the
[A] rain
We [Bm] dont know where well get to or if [D] well get back [E]
again

[D] - [A]   [Esus] - [E] - [F#m]   [D] - [A]   [Esus] - [E] - [F#m]

Now [D] everything that we possess that [A] fills our empty lives
Is [D] only good for [Bm] leaving far be [E] hind

We are [F#m] blown by the [A] wind, just like [D] clouds in the [A]
sky
We [D] dont know where were [Bm] going dont know [E] why
We just [F#m] ride with the [A] wind and well [D] drive through the
[A] rain
We [Bm] dont know where well get to or if [D] well get back [E]
again
