Dm                    Am
The whole town nearly died,
C                        G
When rocks flew from the sky,
Bb                         F  (sounds nice to throw a Gm in here)
The stray dogs whined and howled,
Am                      Dm
At dark foreboding clouds.

Dm                      Am
The mayor screamed and fled,
C                        G
The priest hid under his bed,
Bb                  F
Uprooted trees did spin,
Am                          Dm
To the sound of a merciless wind.

Bb               F
Will you love me when I'm old?
Am                    Dm
I'm still hopin I can get that far.
Bb                 F
No-one escaped the whirlwind's hold,
Am                        Dm
Except the jailor and his pack of cards.

                        The beauty is in the  spontaneaity

       Bb       F
And I  sit out side watchin
Bb     F
Fallin stars playin
Bb      F
D minor chords on a
Bb      F
Spanish guitar ah-ah.
(think there might be a slide to Gm here before goin straight to the Dm in the verse)

VERSE 3(same as the other two)
Dm...
Well clothes blew threw the streets,

And so did cinema seats,

Their souls could not be saved,

I dug a thousand graves.


Repeat CHORUS then some more D minor to lead into the solo.

The end chords are very hard to pick out,especially while distracted by such an amazin
but it seems to be a reptition of a Dm - Bb riff maybe something like this:

   Dm                Bb
e¦---1-1------1-1------6-6------6-6---------|I
B¦---3-3------3-3------6-6------6-6---------|I
