  On the fCirst day that I saw you
  Walkin' Emhome in your muddy boots
  'CGmross the empty fields at harvest Ftime
  FmHummin' a familiar tune
  CI stopped and sang with you
  D7We watched the yellow moon riG7se
[Verse 2]
  CLater on outside your fence
  EmWe shared a little dance
  GmI knew I loved ya even thFen
  FmAnd in that autumn sky
  CWe watched a storm go by
  G7It's been that way ever siCnce
[Chorus]
Oh babe it's Fsure been a whirlwind
A Ftwirlin' twister touchin' doCwn on the ground
In a dCozen little sleepy towns
BlFowin' like a gale full of rFain clouds and thunder
Without heaCrts full of hunger
And our hoGpes lookin' upward once agFain

[Intro]

C Em F G7

[Verse 1]

On the first day that I saw you

Walkin' home in your muddy boots

Gm F

'Cross the empty fields at harvest time

Hummin' a familiar tune

I stopped and sang with you

We watched the yellow moon rise

Later on outside your fence

We shared a little dance

And in that autumn sky

We watched a storm go by

It's been that way ever since

[Chorus]

Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind

A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground

In a dozen little sleepy towns

Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder

Without hearts full of hunger

And our hopes lookin' upward once again

G C Em F G7

Babe it's been a whirlwind

[Verse 3]

There were babies died and babies born

Flood and drought and world war

Gm F

We saw the worst years and the best

In every town another chance

Tryin' to build a winning hand

D7 G7

Even when the cards were stacked against

[Verse 4]

Oh and I remember why we dance

Gentle as a passing a glance

Gm F

The warmth of your breath against my cheek

Then hearin' that loud thunder roll

On and on we strolled

G7 C

Went racin' home down rainy streets

[Chorus]

Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind

A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground

In a dozen little sleepy towns

Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder

Without hearts full of hunger

Without hearts full of hunger
