  			G                C           G 
Babe, you always were a hurricane 
    C                    F        C          G 
The way that first you'd rage and then you'd rain 
    C                  F       C 
And all the calm there in your eye 
                 F       C      G 
Just felt like a lie, it always changed 
          D        Dsus4 
It always changed  


G                C             G 
You could see it coming on for miles 
C              F         C         G 
Ripping up the trees and fencepost stiles 
    C                   F         C 
The wind goes warm, the sky turns green 
                   F          C    G 
That's the wildest world I've ever seen 
          D       
I've ever seen 



           Em            C                 G             D 
So blow me down, blow me down and leave me lying in your wake 
       Em          C               G    D 
Lay me low, lay me low in your old way  
       Em           C 
Let it rain, let it fall 
          G                D              C          D 
Shake the pictures off the wall and roar away, roar away 
     G     C  G 
Hurricane  


G                    C          G 
I've always kept the company of clouds 
  C                 F          C       G 
I like my lightning bright, my thunder loud 
      C             F     C 
I was never one for bluer skies 
                    F       C     G 
All that bright sun droning in my eyes 
      D       
In my eyes 



           Em            C                 G             D 
So blow me down, blow me down and leave me lying in your wake 
       Em          C            G     D 
Lay me low, lay me low one more time  
       Em           C 
Let it rain, let it pour 
        G              D              C          D 
Spin me round a little more and roar away, roar away 
     Em7

Bridge: 

         Em7                                         C 
Well the sensible people run, but I'm holding out my tongue 
           Am                 C 
For just a taste of rain, electricity 
          Am                       C    D       
I want to feel that change washing over me 



        Em            C                 G             D 
Blow me down, blow me down and leave me lying in your wake 
       Em          C                 G     D 
Lay me low, lay me low just one more time  
       Em           C 
Let it rain, let it pour 
         G              D              C          D          C    D 
Blow the hinges off the door and roar away, roar away, roar away  
     Em
