Chords for JJ Grey - Hurricane

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm going to do one more quickie here. _
_ That ain't on no record.
It almost was on Orange Blossom, but it _ sounded too acoustic to me.
It didn't sound like it belonged on that record.
_ _ Maybe [G] it'll make it on the next one.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ [N] It's a song _ _ _
[Abm] I wrote a couple years ago.
[Gb] _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] I'm terrible with [Bb] dates, times, places. _ _ _
I think it was _ the year before Katrina hit.
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ Three or four hurricanes came across [Abm] where I live in Florida.
_ _ [E] _ This particular song, [A] I don't remember [B] the name, [Bb] _ _ _ [Abm] lasted 40 [Bb] hours.
_ _ _ _ Usually it's six to eight hours that's done.
[Eb] It's like you wake up in the wind and hurricane force you go to bed.
You wake up the next day and the winds are still hurricane.
_ [Bb] _ _ Mine does the same thing.
Sorry. _
I _ _ [Eb] did that before.
Playing on the radio and my phone started ringing over here.
_ [Bb] Anyway, _ _ _ _ _ [B] you wake up again, [Bb] [A] the wind's still hurricane force, you go to bed,
and the next [Bb] day it's still hurricane force when you wake up.
[Abm] After a while it [B] _ [Db] starts to get to you.
[Ab] My dad told me about [G] that when he [C] was a young.
_ How it can get to you a little bit. _
To [Db] me, I walked [Cm] outside and I lost a couple of big oak trees
and a couple of bullhorn pecan trees. _ _
At _ the [Db] same time, [Eb] there's something beautiful about the sky then
and the way the air [Cm] feels, [C] especially in Florida.
_ _ 100 degrees outside and when a [A] hurricane comes across,
the temperature [C] drops down to the 60s.
_ _ But at the end of the day, the main thing was it made me feel so small.
And _ _ _ like nothing I do is important, which is the truth,
the closest to the truth that I'll ever know.
_ _ Nothing that we anybody does really is that important.
_ Especially as important as television would have us all believe at least.
So I made a little song, it's called Hurricane.
It's _ about _ how unimportant I am. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Ain't no wall [F] that's [C] thick enough. _ _ _
_ _ _ Ain't no shelter _ [F] _
[C] safe enough.
When [G] _ God, _ _ _ _ _ when he opens [C] his mouth. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I [F] felt the _ [C] wind _ [G] blowing. _ _
_ _ [F] Felt the rain [C] _ _
[G] come down.
_ _ Felt [F] the _ [C] peace _ [G] within. _
_ _ _ [F] That I can never _ _ be _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] without. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Right [C] on. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Ain't _ _ no science small _ enough. _ _ _ _ _ _
Ain't no levy _ [F] strong [C] _ enough.
When [G] _ God, _ _ _ _ _ when he opens [C] his mouth. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] I [F] felt the _ [C] wind _ [G] blowing.
_ _ I [F] felt the [C] rain _ come [G] _ down.
I _ _ [F] felt the _ [C] peace _ [G] within. _ _ _ _
[Am] That I can [F] never _ _ _ be _ _ _ _ [G] _ without. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Right on. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Right on. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Right on. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Right on.
