Verse 1
When these (G major) old adobe walls
Turn to (C major) dust and then they fall
(G major) And the creatures of the night
call out your name (D major)
Mother
Nature, (G major) she'll grab hold
Of all the (C major) things that we've let go
(G major) Here comes an ill -intentioned
(D major) wind that knows your (G major) name
In the desert night it builds
Near
(C major) Gila,
Monster
Hill (G major) s, a wisp of dust
Then a whisper, then a (D major) curse
Soon it's (G major) ninety miles an hour
Near
El
(C major) Centro,
Water
Tower (G major)
Look out,
El
Ca (D major) jon, you'll be the (G major) first
How those
(D major) Santa winds begin to blow (E minor)
From
Death
Val (A major) ley to the wide
Pacific shore
(D major) Won't be no saints (C major) come marchin' in
No movie stars (G major) or clergymen
(C major) Where will you (E minor) run when that wind
howls neath your (C major) door
When that (E minor) sand and wind (D major) begins to
(G major) roar (E minor) (E flat major) (E minor)
(E flat major) (C minor) (D major)
Califor (G major) nia, my home state
Cars of (C major) people sit and wait
(G major) They know it's coming.
They can feel it in their (D major) bones
All that real (G major) estate and pride
All those
(C major) Indians that (G major) died while a
Spanish priest danced (D major) the drunk
fan (G major) dango
They say the troubadours invented love
A thousand years (C major) before the flood
(G major) They rode from town to town
Singing of the (D major) mystery
Well, the (G major) wind sings its own song
Moving (C major) pa tiently along (G major)
Burning down the (D major) lives of
Western (G major) history
Now that
(D major) Santa
Ana wind begins to blow (E minor)
From
Death
Val (A major) ley to the wide
Pacific shore
(D major) Only no saints (C major) come marching in
No cowboy stars (G major) or clergymen
(C major) Where will you (E minor) run when that wind
howls neath your (C major) door?
When that saddened (E minor) wind (D major) begins to roar (E minor)
(C major) When that
(G major) Santa
Anna will (D major) be
Mr.
(G major) Lord
