Strawbs – I Turned My Face Into The Wind (Guitar)

  Bm                    Am
I wandered far onto the lonely moors

Bm                                          Am
Sparse coarse tufts of grass reached out to trip me

     C                                   D
And above my head the leaden clouds hung low

                             Em
As I turned my face into the wind

  Bm                      Am
I huddled close against a tumbling wall

Bm                                        Am
Wrapped in a cloak, to shield me from the bitter cold

    C                            D
The solitude weighed heavy on my mind

                             Em
As I turned my face into the wind

    Am                          Em
The mist rolled down across the countryside

  Am                          Em
I thought I heard the coastal sirens sound

     D                       Em
As I turned my face into the wind

  Bm                      Am
I tried to peer into the deepening gloom

   Bm                              Am
To glimpse a lighted window in the distance

    C                             D
But just too far to penetrate the rain

                              Em
And I turned my face into the wind

    Bm                        Am
And yet somehow I sensed her presence near

    Bm                                   Am
And tufts of sheep's-wool hanging from a gorse bush

        C                                  D
Were as though her hands were beckoning me home

                              Em
And I turned my face into the wind
