Strawbs - I Turned My Face Into The Wind

  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
