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