       D    A     G
Like a full force gale
       D     A   G
I was lifted up again
      D      A   G    A      D
I was lifted up again by the Lord
        D    A     G
No matter where I roam

            D    A     G
In the gentle evening freeze
           D       A       G
By the whispering shady trees
          D      A    G    A    D
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord
 
B-                   G     A
  I was headed for a fall
         B-                     G     A

A Sense Of Wonder
Tom: C
Intro:  G
C                D                G
        I walked in my great coat,   down through the days of leaves
C       D                          G
        No before, after, yes, after before
C             D                   G
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
C   D                         G                   D
In the eternal presence,   in the presence of the flame
Chorus:
G       D/F#    Em             D/B                C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
G       D/F#    Em      D/B         C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
G       D/F#    Em            D/B                 C                G
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
C       D                      G
On and on and on, we kept singing our song
C       D                                       G
Thru Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road
C                          D                                                G
With Spike and Boffyflow, I said I would describe the leaves for Samuel
                                                        & Felicity
C         D                               G                     D
Rich, red, browney, half burnt orange and green
Chorus:
G       D/F#    Em             D/B                C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
Bridge:
Em                       Bm
It's easy to describe the leaves in the Autumn
Em                    Bm
And it's oh so easy in the Spring
Em                 Bm
But down through January and February
C                           D
It's a very different thing
C       D                              G
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
C                         D                                     G
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
C                         D                                G
I said I could describe the leaves and what it means to you and me
C                             D                 G
You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love philosophy
Chorus:
G       D/F#    Em             D/B                C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
G       D/F#    Em      D/B         C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
G       D/F#    Em            D/B                 C                G
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
Chorus:
G       D/F#    Em             D/B                C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
G       D/F#    Em      D/B         C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?

G                C   G               D7          G
Hey where did we go   days when the rain came  
              C     G            D7         G
Down in the hollow,   playing a new game
               C                 G              D7
Laughin' and a runnin' hey, hey, skipping and a jumping
G               C            G               D7     C         D7
In the misty morning fog with our hearts a thumpin' and you,  
              G     Em   C     D7            G       D7
My brown eyed girl,        you my brown eyed girl  
 
G        C        G           D7            G
Whatever happened to Tuesdays and so slow  
                C       G                  D7       G
Going down the old mine   with a transistor radio  
                C                  G              D7                 G
Standing in the sunlight laughing,  hiding behind a rainbow's wall,  
             C       G              D7               C          D7
Slipping and sliding   all along the water fall with you,  
              G     Em   C     D7            G
My brown eyed girl,        you my brown eyed girl
D7
Do you remember when we used to sing
G          C            G                D7
Sha la la  la la la la  la la la la tee  da   just like that
G          C            G                D7             G
Sha la la  la la la la  la la la la tee  da   la tee da 
G          C           G                 D7         G
So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own  
                    C        G         D7              G
I saw you just the other day,   my how you have grown  
               C               G                        D7               G
Cast my memory back there, Lord  Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout  
                   C           G            D7           C      D7
Making love in the green grass   behind the stadium with you,  
              G    Em    C     D7            G
my brown eyed girl,        you my brown eyed girl
D7
Do you remember when we used to sing
G          C            G                D7

G          C            G                D7             G
Sha la la  la la la la  la la la la tee  da   la tee da 

 

Wild Night
Tom: Em
           Em                                    G
    As you brush your shoes and stand before the mirror,
            Em                                 G
    and you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat.
            Em                              G
    And you walk the wet street tryin' to remember,
            C                  D              G
    all the wild night breezes in your mem'ry ever.
    CHORUS
              Em               C
    And everything looks so complete,
                Em                  C
    when you're walkin' out on that street.
            Em                C                   D
    And the wind catches your feet, and sends you flyin', cryin'.
    Em     C    D     Em             D        G
    Ooh---------------wee.  The wild night is callin.
    Em     C    D     Em             D        G
    Ooh---------------wee.  The wild night is callin.
                Em                                 G
    And all the girls walk by, dressed up for each other.
            Em                                             G
    And the boys do the boogie-woogie on the corner of the street.
            Em                                   G
    And the people passin' by just stare in wild wonder,
            C              D                   G
    and the jukebox inside roars out just like thunder.
    (Chorus)
             Em                         G
    Well the wil-------------d night is callin'.
        Em                       G
    The wil-----------d night is callin'.
                    Em                     G
    Come on out and dance, come on out and make romance.
                    C     D                       G
    Come on out and dance, come on out and make romance.
    (Chorus)
