[tab]E                  D
You said the rivers and the trees

Bm                             D
Would fill our pockets and our plates

Bm            D
Promises you made

You said the world was generous

Bm                              D
And wouldn't turn its back on us
[Interlude] Bm D
Bm
The river froze

A
The trees were bare

Bm                     A
And all the birds they disappeared

      Bm         C
So me too I flew away

From promises you made

Promises you made

That we would walk, side by side

Through all the seasons of our lives

Any way the wind blows

Whatever promises I've made

Just bread when I'm hungry, fire when I'm cold

Just need a steady hand to hold

Any way the wind blows

But I'll walk with you into the wind
