Cyclone chords by Bruce Hornsby

Bm         D     A   		          E
Most of our years have flown away with nothing much decided
G		    D	      A  			Bm
Except the board we′re playing on, how it′s to be divided
Will more years yet die alone? The question′s many-sided
Got no answers of my own and none have been provided


CHORUS

Bm 		   D		       A       E
When I was a boy there was nothing to know
D		Bm		A      Bm
The wind followed me wherever I′d go
Rain came down where I made my stand
And the cyclone rose with a wave of my hand

VERSE

There is a game that′s only played in a darkened room with strangers
Dealt down and dirty with unmarked cards eyes closed to dangers
Jealousy folds without playing its hold card, romance raises grinning
I spent several lifetimes there where I could not lose for winning


CHORUS

When I was a boy there was love for free
Glad to be given and received by me
Rain came down where I made my stand
And the cyclone rose with a wave of my hand


I believe I can still make the cyclone rise
Just can′t see it so well, with my fading eyes

Bm           D          A   			E
A mystery to myself not everything now I was born to be
G		       D	        			Bm
All I know is when I wanted it so, the wind itself rose for me


You know, if it wasn′t for love

I might just be a wandering man

But believe I′ve made the better choice

To sing about it with this band

Bm 				A	    E
When I was a boy, I could summon the moon
	D				A      Bm
With a crook of the finger and a home-made tune

I could ride the clouds when they sailed on by

And sing all the words to a wildcat′s cry

When I was a boy there was nothing to know
The wind followed me wherever I′d go
Rain came down where I made my stand
And the cyclone rose with a wave of my hand

I believe I can still make the cyclone rise
And the cyclone rose
Wave of my hand
