Intro

D  Am  D  D    |    D  Am  D  D


Verse 1

D              Am        D         D
I am the wind, without a name

D                   Am              D        D
I have been blowing long before you came

D             Am     D        D
I am the wind no one calls

D                 Am       D
I see your towers rise and fall

C         G      D         D
Cities of Texas, my lovely ones

C         G     D       Am          D (x2)
Cities of Texas shining in the sun


Verse 2

D             Am     D        D
I am the wind no one knows

D                      Am                 D         D
Out from your deserts, down from your melting snows

D               Am                D        D
Over the ocean, right across your land

D                      Am               D      D
I turn your high glass back to shifting sand

C         G      D         D
Cities of Texas, my lovely ones

C         G      D      D
Cities of Texas, shine
