Paul Cotton   Across A Painted Sky  written by  Rusty Young


E D  E D  E D  E D

E
There's a half moon in the distance
G
Troubles on the rise
E
Carried by the wind you could
G
See it in her eyes
E
Daughter of a rich man
G
Her daddy knew him well
A
He swore that if he touched her
G
He'd end up in hell
E
They were barely eighteen
G
Children at the time
E
No one ever doubted
         G
They were partners in crime
E
She was wild and wreckless
G
He was just the same
A
The fire that burned inside them
E
Would never be tamed
C#m   G#m    
Ooh - Whenever night winds cry,
              Amaj7
They say that lovers in the night

Are calling each other
   G#m
To say that it's all right
    Amaj7
Far away from the angry storm
    G#m
That made their heart aches die
           Amaj7
They would ride on the desperate wind
     B                                G    A   G   A
That writes its name across a painted sky
E
Everybody knows it
G
But no one says a word
E
They never found the lovers
G
And they knew they never would
E
But someone lit a candle
G
That turned into a flame
    B
And burned its way to dawn
     E
Only ashes remain
C#m   G#m    
Ooh - Whenever night winds cry,
              Amaj7
They say that lovers in the night

Are calling each other
   G#m
To say that it's all right
    Amaj7
Far away from the angry storm
    G#m
That made their heart aches die
           Amaj7
They would ride on the desperate wind
     B                                G    A   G   A
That writes its name across a painted sky
C#m   G#m    
Ooh - Whenever night winds cry,
              Amaj7
They say that lovers in the night

Are calling each other
   G#m
To say that it's all right
    Amaj7
Far away from the angry storm
    G#m
That made their heart aches die
           Amaj7
They would ride on the desperate wind
     B                                G    E   G   E
That writes its name across a painted sky
