G                  C 
Each time I leave you 
  G                         D     
It's with a heavy heart 
Em                    Bm 
But these obligations 
C               D            
Keep us apart 
Em                     Bm 
This chill in the air here 
                 C             G       Am 
Makes me miss you even more 
                   C                         G 
Wish I was standing on your shore 
 
 
(Chorus) 
                     C 
Mistral wind blowing from north west 
                    G              D 
Taking me back to the place I can rest 
            Em                      C 
Mistral wind won't you carry me home 
                    D         G                    C     G C G 
Back to the heart of Paleo 
 
 
 G                            C 
Learn to see your shooting stars 
         G                     D 
And feel the evening breeze 
Em                    Bm 
Walk along the rocky path 
C                            D 
Among your olive trees 
Em                                        G 
And though you're just one tiny jewel 
            C 
In the Ionian  sea 
                                                 G 
There's no place else I'd rather be 
 
(Chorus) 
 
 
 
 
C               D 
So I'll keep working hard and 
G                      Em 
Waiting for the day 
C                 Am                    D 
When I'll be coming back to stay 
 
G  C  G  D  Em C  Am D  G 
 
                     C 
Each time I leave you 
      G                     D 
It's with a heavy heart 
Em                  Bm 
But these obligations 
C                     D 
They keep us apart 
Em                    Bm 
This chill in the air here 
                 C            G       Am 
Makes me miss you even more 
C                Am             C      G 
Wish I was standing on your shore 
C                Am               C    G 
Wish I was standing on your shore
