[Verse 1]
         Em                                  G
Is there anything more beautiful than a ship
      C
Sails bent
       G
To the wind
    Em                          G
And every time I see a shooting star skip
           C
Across the sky
                 G
I think of my dead friend


[Instrumental]
Em G C G
Em G C G


[Verse 2]
Em                                   G
Late last night on the wind I felt him there
       C
On my shoulder
        G
In the air
    Em                                      G
And god only knows how many times I think of him
         C
Think of him
          G
Again and again


[Chorus]
         C
And last night the wind told me
                         G
Told me everything last night
     C
The winds told me
                      Am
Everything would be alright

[Verse 3]
    Em                                 G
Now I've got a girl she lives just up the street
            C
And I love her
       G
Like a child
    Em                                       G
And everytime her hair gets caught in the wind sweep
    C          G
My heart beats wild
      Em                              G
She's taking that trip across the ocean wide
       C
On the wind
        G
And the tide
   Em                               G
So I will wait for the wind to turn around
          C
Bring her back
        Bm
To this town
            Am         A
Ahhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
D     C     G     D
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


[Chorus]
     C
Last night the wind told me
                        G
Told me everything last night
    C
The wind told me
                      Am G C
Everything would be alright
                   Am G C
Everything'll be alright
                  Am G C
Everything'll be alright
           Am    G C Cm
It'll be alright


[Outro]
                       D     G
It'll be alright, alright, alright
