Strawbs - I Turned My Face Into The Wind
INTRO:  Am   G   F   D   E   B   Em   B   E  
I Bmwandered far onto the Amlonely moors
BmSparse coarse tufts of grass reached out to Amtrip me
And aCbove my head the leaden clouds hung Dlow
As I turned my face into the Emwind
I Bmhuddled close against a Amtumbling wall
BmWrapped in a cloak, to shield me from the Ambitter cold
The Csolitude weighed heavy on my Dmind
As I turned my face into the Emwind
BRIDGE:
The Ammist rolled down across the Emcountryside
I Amthought I heard the coastal Emsirens sound
As I Dturned my face into the Emwind
I Bmtried to peer into the dAmeepening gloom
To Bmglimpse a lighted window in the Amdistance
But Cjust too far to penetrate the Drain
And I turned my face into the Emwind
And Bmyet somehow I sensed her pAmresence near
And Bmtufts of sheep's-wool hanging from a Amgorse bush
Were as Cthough her hands were beckoning me Dhome
And I turned my face into the Emwind
OUTRO:   G    F    G  D

Strawbs - I Turned My Face Into The Wind

Am G F D E B Em B E

INTRO:

Bm Am

I wandered far onto the lonely moors

Bm Am

Sparse coarse tufts of grass reached out to trip me

C D

And above my head the leaden clouds hung low

As I turned my face into the wind

Bm Am

I huddled close against a tumbling wall

Bm Am

Wrapped in a cloak, to shield me from the bitter cold

C D

The solitude weighed heavy on my mind

As I turned my face into the wind

BRIDGE:

Am Em

The mist rolled down across the countryside

Am Em

I thought I heard the coastal sirens sound

D Em

As I turned my face into the wind

Bm Am

I tried to peer into the deepening gloom

Bm Am

To glimpse a lighted window in the distance

C D

But just too far to penetrate the rain

And I turned my face into the wind

Bm Am

And yet somehow I sensed her presence near

Bm Am

And tufts of sheep's-wool hanging from a gorse bush

C D

Were as though her hands were beckoning me home

And I turned my face into the wind

G F G D
