Chord/Tab song: Across a Painted Sky

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
They were[G] 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]Ooh - [G#m]Whenever night winds cry,
They say that [Amaj7]lovers in the night

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

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

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