Whirlwind In D Minor

Ed Harcourt
 DmAm
 The whole town nearly died,
 CG
 When rocks flew from the sky,
Bb F (sounds nice to throw a Gm in here)
The stray dogs whined and howled,
 AmDm
 At dark foreboding clouds.

 DmAm
 The mayor screamed and fled,
 CG
 The priest hid under his bed,
 BbF
 Uprooted trees did spin,
 AmDm
 To the sound of a merciless wind.

CHORUS

e¦--1---1p0---0------|I
B¦--3---3--3--3------|I
G¦----2----2---------|I
D¦0----------0-------|I
A¦-------------------|I
E¦-------------------|I

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

*I like this bit, it's a bit tricky.Run-down from Bb to F with the bass notes followin
notes he sings:
 BbF
e¦-------------------------|I
B¦------3----3-------------|I
G¦------3----3----3-3------|I
D¦------3----3----3-3------|I
A¦----1----0------2-2------|I
E¦-------------1-----------|I Or something like that.
The beauty is in the spontaneaity

 BbF
And I  sit out side watchin
 BbF
 Fallin stars playin
 BbF
 D minor chords on a
 BbF
 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:

 DmBb
e¦---1-1------1-1------6-6------6-6---------|I
B¦---3-3------3-3------6-6------6-6---------|I
G¦--2---2-2--2---2-2------7-7------7-7------|I
D¦-0-----0--0-----0---8----8---8----8-------|I
A¦-------------------8--------8-------------|I
E¦------------------------------------------|I

Well that's the best that i can do.If you can't tell from half the crap I've already
I love this song to pieces so anyone who wants to learn it automatically earns my
world needs more people who appreciate Ed. Thanks,goodbye and Que Pasa?
