Song: Like a Hurricane
By:   Bryan Ferry 

[intro:]  4 x [ Am  G  Fmaj7  Em ]  
               {keys}
               {keys+guitar+bass}
               {band kicks in}
               {band} 

[verse: 1]
Am                                 G
  Once I thought I saw you, in a crowded hazy bar
Fmaj7                                 Em    (G passing note)
  Dancing on the light from star to star
Am                             G
  Far across the moon beam, I know that's who you are
Fmaj7                                   Em {build} G
 I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
 
[chorus:]
C      G   F           
  You are like a hurricane
C          G   F     
  There's calm in your eye
C      G     F        
  and I'm getting blown away... 
F                                     Fmaj7
to somewhere safer where the feelings stay
                                         Am  G   F   Em  (G)
I wanna love you, but I'm getting blown away

[solo: guitar] 4 x [ Am  G  Fmaj7  Em  (G) ]

[verse: 2]
Am                     G
  I am just a dreamer,   you are just a dream
Fmaj7                               Em   (G)
  And you could have been anyone to me
Am
  Before that moment you touched my lips
G
  That perfect feeling when time just slips 
F                                Em {build}  G
  Away between us and our foggy trip
 
[chorus:]
C      G   F           
  You are like a hurricane
C          G   F     
  There's calm in your eye
C      G     F        
  and I'm getting blown away... 
F                                     Fmaj7
to somewhere safer where the feelings stay
                                         Am  G   F   Em  (G)
I wanna love you, but I'm getting blown away

[solo: sax] 4 x [ Am  G  Fmaj7  Em  (G) ] 
 
[verse: 3]
Am                     G
  I am just a dreamer,   you are just a dream
Fmaj7                           Em    (G)
  You could have been anyone to me
Am
  Before that moment you touched my lips
G
 That perfect feeling when time just slips
Fmaj7                            Em {build}   G
  Away between us on our foggy trip
 
[chorus:]
C      G   F           
  You are like a hurricane
C          G   F     
  There's calm in your eye
C      G     F        
  and I'm getting blown away... 
F                                     Fmaj7
to somewhere safer where the feelings stay
                                         Am  G   F   Em  (G)
I wanna love you, but I'm getting blown away
