Verse 1

G C

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout you lately

G D

And the way you say my name

G C

And I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the prairie

G D Em

And the dusty roads we came

G C

And I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the mornin’

G D

When you wake up by my side

G C

And I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the warnings

G D Em

That we both have learned to hide

Chorus

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

Breathin’ in the air

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

And I know you still care

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

And I hope you think of me

C G D Em

When the wind meets fire over the sea

Verse 2

G C

I’ve been drinkin’ to your memory

G D

Since the day you went away

G C

And I’ve been sinkin’ in the feelin’

G D Em

That I’ll see you someday

G C

And I’ve been writin’ all these letters

G D

That I’ll never send to you

G C

’Bout how nothin’ could be better

G D Em

Than the mornin’ sky so blue

Chorus

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

Breathin’ in the air

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

And I know you still care

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

And I hope you think of me

C G D Em

When the wind meets fire over the sea

Bridge

Em C

And the years, they come and go now

G D

Like the trains on through the night

Em C

And the only thing I know now

G D Em

Is I fought you with my life

Em C

And the only thing I know now

G D Em

In the stillness and the light

Em C

Is I’ll love you ’til I’m gone now

G D Em

And I’ll love you through the night

Chorus

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

Breathin’ in the air

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

And I know you still care

C G

And I know you’re out there somewhere

D Em

And I hope you think of me

C G D Em

When the wind meets fire over the sea

Outro

G C

When the wind meets fire

G D

When the wind meets fire

G C

When the wind meets fire

G D

Over the sea

Em G

Over the sea

Practice tip: Focus on the simple four-chord progression (G, C, D, Em) and let the lyrics carry the emotion. Strum lightly during the verses and add a bit more energy to the chorus.
