[Intro]
C D C D
C G F C Bb B
I woke up this morn-ing and my mind fell a way,
C G F G
Look-ing back sad ly from to-mor-row,
C G F G
As I heard an ech-o from the past soft-ly say
Dm7/G C Bb F
Come Back, come back, won't you stay?
[Verse 1]
C Bb C C
Want ed to reach you, let you know I still care,
C G F G
I'm lost in the si-lence of my sor- row
C G F C F
And I put a prom-ise in the wind, on the air,
C Dm7/G C F/G
to fly a-way to you there.
[Chorus]
C G Am Dm D C G
Touch The Wind, Catch my love as it goes sail---ing
G G7 C F C G7 C F F/G
Touch The Wind, And I'll be close to you
C G7 Am
[soloist] I'll be eas-y to find OOoo
[choral] Touch The Wind,
F D C G
[soloist] On the wings of the morn- ing I'll go sail- ing
[choral] Catch my love as it goes sail- ing
G G7 C F
[soloist] I'll be eas-y to find OOoo
[choral] Touch The Wind,
C G7 C F/G C Dm/G Bb B
[soloist] Ba-by I'll be close to you
[choral] And I'll be close to you
[Verse 2]
C Bb C C
And on-ly for ev-er can I say I love you,
C G F G
And on-ly for-ev-er have I lost you.
C G F C F
But on-ly a dream-er could wake up, as I do,
C Dm7/G C F/G
and hope it's still ye-ter-day
[Chorus]
C G Am Dm D C G
Touch The Wind, Catch my love as it goes sail---ing
G G7 C F C G7 C F F/G
Touch The Wind, And I'll be close to you
C G7 Am
[soloist] I'll be eas-y to find OOoo
[choral] Touch The Wind,
F D C G
[soloist] On the wings of the morn- ing I'll go sail- ing
[choral] Catch my love as it goes sail- ing
G G7 C F
[soloist] I'll be eas-y to find OOoo
[choral] Touch The Wind,
C G7 C F/G C
[soloist] Ba-by I'll be close to you
[choral] And I'll be close to you
