The Storm

Bm                G
Lay on down and I hit the lights
                   G    D
Close my eyes on a quiet night
                        G       D
I feel a dream and I ’m sleeping too
                           G    D
Hearin’ little drops on my windowsill


[Pre-Chorus]
            G D       A         Bm
I know that sound, the smell of dotting rain
    G                D
She moves my weather vane


[Chorus]
           Bm             A          D   G
She is the storm, and the calm, that proceeds
    Bm                    A            D  G
The howling wind and the still air in-between
         Bm    D              G
And I see, the clouds rolling in
                         D
With a force to knock me down
     A         D
And pick me up again


[Verse 2]
                      G
She calls in quick no warning signs
    Bm        D            G    D
The lightning strikes from wild skies
                      G   D
The things I hope are waterproof
    Bm     D            G          D
Are tested as she rains through my roof


[Pre-Chorus]
          G D    A              Bm
All I can do, is wait for it to pass
G                      D
Hold down, and hope to last


[Chorus]
           Bm              A         D   G
She is the storm, and the calm, that proceeds
    Bm                    A           D  G
The howling wind and the still air in-between
         Bm    D              G
And I see, the clouds rolling in
                         D
With a force to knock me down
     A         D
And pick me up again


Six measure pause, then:
Bm D G D  A  G  x2 (First four strim twice, last two four times, continue into Verse 3)

[Verse 3]
        Bm          D                G      D
Now the streets are flooding and the powers out
A                       G
No use running and I ’m heading out
  Bm      G           G      D
I pull my hatch and I batten down
   A                   G
I face the storm and I hold my ground


G  for two more measures, then:
Bm G Bm D  A  (each for a measure;  A  is two)


[Chorus]
           Bm              A         D   G
She is the storm, and the calm, that proceeds
    Bm                    A           D  G
The howling wind and the still air in-between
         Bm    D              G
And I see, the clouds rolling in
                         D
With a force to knock me down
              A      D
And pick me up again


[Otro]
             G  D           A         Bm
And when she leaves, I want her back again
    G  D   A              Bm
Her storm, I took comfort in
G  D  A              D
Mmmm, I took comfort in
   Bm   A   Bm
Mmmm
