"Storm Front" (Capo: 3rd. fret)

____Intro: (2 times)

[D/A] [/E] [/F#] [/G] [/F#] [/E]
[D/A]
____Verse: 1

Safe____[D/A]at____harbor, everything is easy
Off____[F#msus7]to_______starboard, daylight comes up fast
Now____[D/A]I'm____restless for the open water
Red____[F#msus7]flags____are flying from the Coast Guard mast
They told me to st____ay, I heard all the information[D7/F#]
I motored aw____ay and [F#7+9]steered straight ahead
Though the [B7+9]weatherman said

____Chorus:

There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
[Bb9-5]Small craft warning on the radio

____Verse: 2

I've____[D/A]been____sailing a long time on this ocean
Man____[F#msus7]gets_____lonesome, all those years at sea
I've____[D/A]got____a woman, my life should be easy
Most____[F#msus7]men______hunger for the life I lead
The morning was gr____ay, but I had the motivation[D7/F#]
I drifted aw____ay and [F#7+9]ran into more
heavy [B7+9]weather off shore

____Chorus:

There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
[Bb9-5]Small craft warning on the radio

____Bridge:

We've got a [A7+9]low pressure system and a northeast breeze[Bb7+9]
We've got a [A7+9]falling barometer and rising seas[Bb7+9]
We've got the [A7+9]cumulonimbus and a possible gale[Bb7+9]
Eaug5
We've got a force nine blowing on the Beaufort scale

____Verse: 3

I'm____[D/A]still rest____less for the open water
Though____[F#msus7]she______gives me everything I need
She asked me to st____ay, but I'd done my navigation[D7/F#]
I drove her aw____ay, but [F#7+9]I should have known
To stay [B7+9]tied up at home

____Chorus:

There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
[Bb7+9]Small craft warning on the radio

____Guitar solo:

C#7+9 (6 bars)
[C#7+9] [C9+11] [Bb7+9]
____Chorus: (twice/ A9 throughout)

(Storm front coming) There's a storm front coming, babe
(mood indigo)
(White water running) 1st. time: White water running
2nd. time: Get into white water running, yeah!
(Storm front coming)
Oh, there's a storm front coming, babe
(mood indigo)
(White water running, running)
