Whirlwind

	  		Intro: C     Em    F     G7     


verse 1 
          C 
  On the first day that I saw you 
          Em 
  Walkin' home in your muddy boots 
    Gm                              F 
  'Cross the empty fields at harvest time 
Fm 
  Hummin' a familiar tune 
C 
  I stopped and sang with you 
D7                             G7 
  We watched the yellow moon rise 


verse 2 
C 
  Later on outside your fence 
Em 
  We shared a little dance 
Gm                         F 
  I knew I loved ya even then 
Fm 
  And in that autumn sky 
C 
  We watched a storm go by 
G7                          C 
  It's been that way ever since 


             F 
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind 
 F                            C 
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground 
      C 
In a dozen little sleepy towns 
  F                          F 
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder 
           C 
Without hearts full of hunger 
          G                         F 
And our hopes lookin' upward once again 
  G                 C            Em         F          G7 
Babe it's been a whirlwind 



verse 3 
             C 
  There were babies died and babies born 
Em 
  Flood and drought and world war 
Gm                                 F 
  We saw the worst years and the best 
Fm 
  In every town another chance 
C 
  Tryin' to build a winning hand 
D7                                     G7 
  Even when the cards were stacked against 


verse 4 
         C 
  Oh and I remember why we dance 
Em 
  Gentle as a passing a glance 
       Gm                               F 
  The warmth of your breath against my cheek 
       Fm 
  Then hearin' that loud thunder roll 
C 
  On and on we strolled 
G7                               C 
  Went racin' home down rainy streets 

 
             F 
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind 
 F                            C 
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground 
      C 
In a dozen little sleepy towns 
  F                          F 
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder 
           C 
Without hearts full of hunger 
          G                         F 
And our hopes lookin' upward once again 
  G                 Dm            Em            F            G7 
Babe it's been a whirlwind 

             F 
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind 
 F                            C 
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground 
      C 
In a dozen little sleepy towns 
  F                          F 
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder 
           C 
Without hearts full of hunger 
          G                         F 
And our hopes lookin' upward once again 
  G7                 C        F 
Babe it's been a whirlwind 

    G7                C            Em            F            G7            C 
Oh Babe it's been a whirlwind
