CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   C  
I can Emreach out, love, and touch you
I can Ghold you for awhile
I've been Amall around the Cworld
Oh, how I Dlong to see you Fsmile
There's a Cshadow on the moon
And the Gwaters here below
Do not Amshine the way they Gshould
And I Flove you, just in case you didn't know
PRE-CHORUS:
Let it CgoG  
And let it Amhappen like it Ghappened once beFforeC  D  C  
CHORUS:
It's a wicked wind and it Gchills me to the bone
And if Amyou do not beGlieve me
Come and Fgaze upon the shadow at your doorC  
Won't you Emlet 'em by me, baby
Run your Gfingers through my hands
I've been Amall around the Ctown
But still DI do not underFstand
Is it Cme or is it you
Or a Gshadow of a dream?
Is it Amwrong to be in Glove
Did it Fbe the finest love I've ever seen
PRE-CHORUS:
Set it CfreeG  
And let it Amhappen like it Ghappened once beFforeC  D  C

It's a wicked wind and it Gchills me to the bone
And if Amyou do not beGlieve me
Come and Fgaze upon the shadow at your door
INTERLUDE: C  
Please Emkiss me gently, darling
Where the Griver runs away
In the mouAmntains in the CSpringtime
On a Dblue and windy Fday
When there's Cbeauty all around
And the Gshades of night go deep
As the Ammorning stars go Gdim
They will Ffind us in the shadows fast asleep
PRE-CHORUS:
Let it CgoG  
And let it Amhappen like it Ghappened once beFforeC  D  C  
CHORUS:
It's a wicked wind and it Gchills me to the bone
And if Amyou do not beGlieve me
Come and Fgaze upon the shadow at your door
PRE-CHORUS:
Set it CfreeG  
And let it Amhappen like it Ghappened once beFforeC  D  C  
CHORUS:
It's a bitter wind and it Gchills me to the bone

Dave Gunning - Shadows

CAPO: 1st Fret

INTRO:

I can reach out, love, and touch you

I can hold you for awhile

Am C

I've been all around the world

D F

Oh, how I long to see you smile

There's a shadow on the moon

And the waters here below

Am G

Do not shine the way they should

And I love you, just in case you didn't know

PRE-CHORUS:

C G

Let it go

Am G F C D C

And let it happen like it happened once before

CHORUS:

It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone

Am G

And if you do not believe me

F C

Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Won't you let 'em by me, baby

Run your fingers through my hands

Am C

I've been all around the town

D F

But still I do not understand

Is it me or is it you

Or a shadow of a dream?

Am G

Is it wrong to be in love

Did it be the finest love I've ever seen

PRE-CHORUS:

C G

Set it free

Am G F C D C

And let it happen like it happened once before

CHORUS:

It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone

Am G

And if you do not believe me

Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

INTERLUDE:

Please kiss me gently, darling

Where the river runs away

Am C

In the mountains in the Springtime

D F

On a blue and windy day

When there's beauty all around

And the shades of night go deep

Am G

As the morning stars go dim

They will find us in the shadows fast asleep

PRE-CHORUS:

C G

Let it go

Am G F C D C

And let it happen like it happened once before

CHORUS:

It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone

Am G

And if you do not believe me

Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

PRE-CHORUS:

C G

Set it free

Am G F C D C

And let it happen like it happened once before

CHORUS:

It's a bitter wind and it chills me to the bone

Am G

And if you do not believe me

Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door
