Am         Am                D       E             Am      C     F
When the night winds softly blow    through my open window

Dm E                 Am   C     F     Dm      E7
then I start to remember     	the girl that brought me joy

Am         Am               D        E             Am      C     F
Now the night winds softly blow     sadness to tomorrow

 Dm E                        Am    C     F
bringing tears to eyes so tired

   Dm      	E7     		E7
Eyes I thought could cry no more


Chorus:

A      C#m            F#          F#(or E)        D
If the day would only come then you might just appear

       C#m                 Bm       G               D
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand

           A       E      D      E
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)

           A       E      D 	 E
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh

              A           D    C#m     F#
To see if you are laughing or crying

A               D  A  Bm    E    A        Am    Dm E	
When the night winds       softly blow



Am      Am        D             E           	  Am      C     F
In my dark and whispering room Memories still bring me 

Dm E                 Am    C     F     Dm      E7
a numbness to my feelings  	   Take my hand and brush my brow

Am     Am      D        E             	       Am      C     F
In the warm and fevered dark Heart is madly beating

   Dm E        		  Am   C    F
My crazy thoughts are burning

        Dm      	E7     E7
When the night winds softly blow



Chorus:

A      C#m            F#         F# (or E)          D
If the day would only come then you might just appear

       C#m                 Bm       G               D
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand

           A       E      D      E
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)

           A       E      D 	 E
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh

              A           D    C#m     F#
To see if you are laughing or crying

A               D  A  Bm    E    A        Am    Dm E	
When the night winds       softly blow
