E
There's a half moon in the distance
G
Troubles on the rise
E
Carried by the wind you could
G
See it in her eyes
E
Daughter of a rich man
G
Her daddy knew him well
A
He swore that if he touched her
G
He'd end up in hell
E
They were barely eighteen
G
Children at the time
E
No one ever doubted
G
They were partners in crime
E
She was wild and wreckless
G
He was just the same
A
The fire that burned inside them
E
Would never be tamed
C#m G#m
Ooh - Whenever night winds cry,
Amaj7
They say that lovers in the night
Are calling each other
G#m
To say that it's all right
Amaj7
Far away from the angry storm
G#m
That made their heart aches die
Amaj7
They would ride on the desperate wind
B G A G A
That writes its name across a painted sky
E
Everybody knows it
G
But no one says a word
E
They never found the lovers
G
And they knew they never would
E
But someone lit a candle
G
That turned into a flame
B
And burned its way to dawn
E
Only ashes remain

Ooh - Whenever night winds cry,
