Across A Painted Sky

	  		E D  E D  E D  E D 
 
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 
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
