Intro: AmGFDEBEmBEBmAm
I wandered far onto the lonely moors
BmAm
Sparse coarse tufts of grass reached out to trip me
CD
And above my head the leaden clouds hung low
Em
As I turned my face into the wind
BmAm
I huddled close against a tumbling wall
BmAm
Wrapped in a cloak, to shield me from the bitter cold
CD
The solitude weighed heavy on my mind
Em
As I turned my face into the wind
Bridge:
AmEm
The mist rolled down across the countryside
AmEm
I thought I heard the coastal sirens sound
DEm
As I turned my face into the wind
BmAm
I tried to peer into the deepening gloom
BmAm
To glimpse a lighted window in the distance
CD
But just too far to penetrate the rain
Em
And I turned my face into the wind
BmAm
And yet somehow I sensed her presence near
BmAm
And tufts of sheep's-wool hanging from a gorse bush
CD
Were as though her hands were beckoning me home
Em
And I turned my face into the wind
