Survivor – Santa Ana Winds (Guitar)

Am                   G
When the wind decides that it's time to ride,

Am                                  G
To spread a little hell through the heartland,

F                                 E
It takes a good long toke then it blows the smoke

                   Am
Through the desert night and the wings of fire

G
Keep climbin' higher,

Am                                      G
See the flames cuttin' hard through the homeland,

F                                E                               Am
It takes a mighty strong will to strip the chill from the desert night

Am                            G
You're wakened from your dream by a siren's scream,

Am                           G
Trapped by the walls that surround you

F                               E                             Am
Then it's will to will, and you wonder still can you struggle free?

                   G
In a thousand ways, when you turn the phrase,

Am                          G
The wind's like a love of a woman

F
It takes a mighty mean bitch

     E
Some fire witch

                    Am
To set the night on fire

       F          Dm                    E         Am
And the Santa Ana wind's gonna have its way tonight

F               C          G          Am
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind

    F          E/G#                    Am   G         F
And ain't it a lot like love the way desire takes you in

    Bm7b5                    E              Am G F G Am G F G
And stokes the fire like the Santa Ana wind

Am                 G
Now the air is calm and the heart grows numb,

Am                        G
The ashes burn low in the heartland,

F                          E                              Am
'Til again the wind starts closin' in to set the night on fire

       F          Dm                      E      Am
And the Santa Ana wind's blowin' cross my heart tonight

F               C          G          Am
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind

    F                 E/G#             Am      G       F
And woman I want your love I need that passion deep within

         Bm7b5                 E              Am G F G Am G F G
Like the ragin' fire needs the Santa Ana wind

       F          Dm                      E      Am
And the Santa Ana wind's gonna take your life tonight

F               C          G          Am
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind

    F                   E/G#           Am   G         F
And ain't it a lot like love the way desire takes you in

Bm7b5               E
Swept away with the Santa Ana wind
