The Strawbs


Tom: G

G   Em   Am     G  C  G  C

[Verse 1]
    G         C       D
The night sky hung so heavy
    G        C        D
The wet road shone so bright
  G                Em
Reflecting back my headlights
     C               Am
As I drove on in the night
          G    C  G  C
To Stormy Down


[Verse 2]
   G     C        D
I drew into a lay-by
   G          C        D
My eyes were dark with strain
    G             Em
And turning up my collar
  C                 Am
I walked out in the rain
          G    C
On Stormy Down


[Chorus]
     D
Ohh, I was high on Stormy Down
C                        G
Thinking of my friends below
    D
But they had gone some other way
     C               Cmaj7  C
They did not want to know
             G    C  G  C  G  C  G  C
About Stormy Down


[Verse 3]
  G         C       D
I thought I saw the Devil
       G        C    D
In the branches of a tree
       G         Em
It was just imagination
       C                 Am
But he looked a bit like me
          G    C
On Stormy Down


[Chorus]
      D
Well, I was high on Stormy Down
C                        G
Thinking of my friends below
    D
But they had gone some other way
     C               Cmaj7  C
They did not want to know
             G    C  G  C  G  C  G  C
About Stormy Down


[Verse 4]
    G         C            D
The cold moon drew strange faces
     G      C        D
On a slowly changing cloud
    G                   Em
One looked like god the father
      C                 Am
And I shouted right out loud
          G    C  
On Stormy Down


[Chorus]
     D
Ohh, I was high on Stormy Down
C                        G
Thinking of my friends below
    D
But they had gone some other way
     C               Cmaj7  C
They did not want to know
