Richard Thompson – Mystery Wind (Guitar)

Dm
Mystery wind, blowing tonight

Dm
Driving rain, close up tight

C
Don't leave a crack for the rain to get in

Bb                                   Dm
Don't leave a hole for the mystery wind

Dm
From some other time, and some other place

Dm
Mystery wind make a fool say grace

C
Lord above how great thou art

Bb                                   Dm
Mystery wind blowing right through your heart

Dm
Ah, whistling down from out of this world

Dm
Take an honest man away from his girl

C
Stir up trouble in a married man's bed

Bb                                   Dm
Make you say things better left unsaid

Dm
The mystery wind, the mystery wind

Gm
It's a cruel wind, screams and moans

Gm
Don't know where from, don't know where it goes

Gm
Rustling the leaves around your door

C                                              Dm
Cold, cold fingers through the cracks in the floor

Dm
The mystery wind

Dm
Ah can't you smell it? You can almost feel it

Dm
Mystery wind, you just can't see it

C
Foul your water and steal your bread

Bb                                   Dm
Wake up things better left for dead

Dm
Mystery wind, are you strong enough

Dm
To fight for your right when the time get's tough?

C
Plague and hunger and burning rain

Bb                                   Dm
Too many good men blown away by the mystery wind

Dm
The mystery wind

Gm
It's a cruel wind, screams and moans

Gm
Don't know where from, don't know where it goes

Gm
Rustling the leaves around your door

C                                              Dm
Cold, cold fingers through the cracks in the floor

Dm
The mystery wind

Gm
It's a cruel wind, screams and moans

Gm
Don't know where from, don't know where it goes

Gm
Rustling the leaves around your door

C                                              Dm
Cold, cold fingers through the cracks in the floor

Dm
The mystery wind
