Waiting For The Hurricane (acoustic)(Chords)

	        


Intro: Em  C D Em  C D 

   Em 
 Standing in the foyer of the grand hotel, 
  Cmaj7 
 Suitcase in his hand looking for a bill, 
            D                                         B7 
 There's a hurricane coming and everyone's trying to get away, 

  Em 
 Time of the season, time of the year,  
      Cmaj7 
 The weather reporter from miami is clear, 
          D                                     Em 
 'find a save place to hide,' there's no place here, 

               D 
 And then the lights go down,  
          C 
 In that caribbean town, 
          Cmaj7 
 And the fishing boats that go out from the coast, 
                   Em 
 Are tied up and dry, yeah yeah yeah, 

C                                         G 
 Suddenly there's a movement to the telephone, 
      B7               Em   D Cmaj7 
 But nobody's calling home tonight, 
          Em            D          Cmaj7    
 They've taken out the very last flight, 
            Em             D     G C 
 And they closed down the borderline, 

            G                 D 
 'cos there ain't nowhere to hide, 
                  C 
 Waiting for the hurricane, 
           G               D 
 There is nowhere here to hide, 
                  C 
 Waiting for the hurricane, 
              G               D 
 Oh there is nowhere you can hide, 
                  C          D        Em  C D Em  C D  
 Waiting for the hurricane, no no no no... 

   Em 
 Staring out the window of the grand hotel, 
      Cmaj7 
 The sea was roaring, I remember well, 
               D                         Em 
 And then the honeymoon bride began to cry, 

             D 
 But as the band played on, 
      C 
 Some old love song, 
          Cmaj7 
 Well he held her hand, gave her to understand, 
             Em 
 It'll be alright, yeah yeah yeah, 

C                                       G 
 Suddenly there's a movement to the radio, 
      B7               Em   D Cmaj7 
 But nobody's getting home tonight, 
          Em            D          Cmaj7 
 They've taken out the very last flight, 
            Em             D     G C 
 And they closed down the borderline, 

            G                 D 
 'cos there ain't nowhere to hide, 
                  C 
 Waiting for the hurricane, 
           G               D 
 There is nowhere here to hide, 
                  C 
 Waiting for the hurricane, 
              G               D 
 Oh there is nowhere you can hide, 
                  C        
 Waiting for the hurricane,    
  D        Em  C D Em  C D        Em  C D Em  C D Em 
 No no no no,           no no no no,  
           C 
 There is nowhere you can hide,  
                  Cmaj7 
 Waiting for the hurricane...
