The storm is over    (video)

 

    G - C - D (2x)

 

   G                  C                               D

1.    I was in a tunnel and couldn’t see the light,

G                               C                               D

    and whenever I’d looked up, I couldn’t see the sky.

G                                       C                                           D

    Sometimes when I’m standing it seems like I gotta walk for miles,

            - G                                 C                           D

    and        my heart could be crying dead in the middle of a smile.

 

C                                      G                           Am

    But then I climbed the hills and saw the mountains,

C                                    G

    I hollered help ‘cause I was lost,

               Am                                            D

    then I felt the strong wind, heard a small voice sayin’ :

 

                      G                          C       D

The storm is over (the storm is over now),

                               G                                      C             D

and I can see the sunshine (somewhere beyond the clouds),

            G                          C      D

I feel heaven, (heaven is over me),

                                   Em      D

come on and set me free, whoah !

 

    G                                        C             D

2.     Now in the midst of my battle all hope was gone,

G                           C                                D

    downtown in a rushed crowd and felt all alone.

G                                    C                              D

    And every now and then I felt like I would lose my mind,

G                                   C              D

    I’ve been racin’ for years, and still no finish line, oho.

 

C                                      G                            Am

    But then I climbed the hills and saw the mountains,

C                                    G

    I hollered help ‘cause I was lost,

               Am                                            D

    then I felt the strong wind, heard a small voice sayin’:

 

                      G                          C       D

The storm is over (the storm is over now),

                               G                                      C             D

and I can see the sunshine (somewhere beyond the clouds),

                  G                           C      D

I can feel heaven, (heaven is over me),

                                   Em      D

come on and set me free, whoah !

 

                Am                                            D

+  Somehow my beginning stepped right in,

                                      Em

    the faith became my friend (my friend),

                                  C                                    D

    and now I can depend on the voices of a wind,

                     D#

    when it’s sayin’ (sayin’):

 

(orig. moves up half a step to capo 4th here)

 

                      G                          C       D

The storm is over (the storm is over now),

                               G                                      C             D

and I can see the sunshine (somewhere beyond the clouds),

                   G                          C      D

I can feel heaven, (heaven is over me),

                                             Em                D

can’t you come and set me free, oh, just set me free !

 

(orig. moves up half a step to capo 4th here)

 

                      G                          C       D

The storm is over (the storm is over now),

                               G                                      C             D

and I can see the sunshine (somewhere beyond the clouds),

                   G                          C      D

I can feel heaven, (heaven is over me),

                                             G       C                          D

can’t you come and set me free, come and set me free, hey !

 

                     - G                                        C        D

+  Looks like       (looks like I can see the light shinin’),

                                              G

    somewhere beyond the clouds,

                                           C        D

    (looks like I can see the light shinin’),

                               G                                         C       D

    down (down on me, looks like I can see the light shinin’ !

 

    Come, woman, the sun’s out !

       G                                 C        D

    (looks like I can see the light shinin’ !)

G                        C       D

    (The storm is over now) tell me, you can see the light,

G                            C              D

    (somewhere beyond the clouds) I can feel heaven on me,

G                     C     D                                   G       C                       D 

    (heaven is over me), come and set me free, come and set me free,

                                                  G

    won’t you come and set me free ….
