Western Wind Chords by Sidsel Endresen

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [G] _ _ _ And half of [Ebm] what you fight for [Eb] is what you get dying in your pockets [F] filled with sand
Your heart [Ebm] measures out incomplete _ [Gb] imaginings and half [F] forgotten dreams _
_ [Ebm] In [Gb] your anger and your vandalism your [F] eyes pound upon this sad and lonely place
You have embraced [Bbm] the mighty one
[F] _ _
Half [Ebm] of what is here [Eb] you'll get
Hold it in your hand and [F] it weighs about the same as [Ebm] any kind of life you had to [Db] choose
_ [Ebm] _ I [F] was _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ stone away _
[F] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
Sad and _ _ [Eb] _
wasting _ away _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ebm] _ Every [Gb] bit of space you have [F] laid claim to in your time
[Eb] And you'd abandon everything if it seemed worth your while
So [Bbm] face another day when all the things you [Gb] want fell through a hole in your pocket
And when [Eb] everything runs out you're never [F] gonna be there [Eb] on time
_ _ _ There's no other way [F] you could amend this matter if the dialogue [Ebm] craves your part
In any kind [Db] of blessed union you're [Eb] as helpless as [Ebm] a child
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [F] _ Crying out
_ [Eb] I was stone _ away
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Crying _ _ _ _ out I was stone away _
_ Crying _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ out I was stone away _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Ebm] _ What name is there [Gb] to carve into the [F] stone when that day draws near
[Eb] Every last hope goes right out the door
And you'd take my last [F] and grubby penny
[Ebm] To buy a hole in your eyes
[Db] Blue denim stoned and [Eb] bled on every wall in [Ebm] sight
One thick [Gb] skin dwindling the last of your youth
[F] _ _
Still [Eb] clinging to the edge of the [Db] city
_ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ Crying out I was stone [Db] away _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [F] In [Gb] holes it robs your soul the instant you know you're never gonna [F] make it in this never never land
[Gb] Your heart bends over twice [Bbm] your back [F] bends down
Pick up anything [Ebm] on the ground
[Gb] You might have approached this in a less [Eb] than clever way
[Ebm] Your maintenance of self [C] ensures an instance [F] one day
Your belly aches your [Eb] mind breaks your heart cries [Db] _ over and over [Ebm] _ again
[Eb] You cry [Ab] out
_ _ _ [Eb] _
[Ebm] I was _ [Eb] stone [Bb] away
