G
Sailin' down the coast of Mexico
B                                 C
With a person I loved since long ago
              A
Into a place nobody wants to go

Chorus:
        G
Into a hurricane
       Em
Whoa, hurricane
C
Some'll be taken
Am        G
Some'll remain

Heard people screamin' and the sky was torn
I looked around and the faces were so forlorn
No relief, only scorn

Chorus:
In a hurricane
In a hurricane
Some'll be taken
Some'll remain

Bm7  Em7          Bm7    Em7
Hurricane's just another name
        C                  Am
For the torment in a man's soul
Bm7          Em7     Bm7  Em7
    His mind is gone
      C                  Am
And he starts to lose control

Chorus:
In a hurricane
Oh, the hurricane
Some'll be taken
Some'll remain

G
How long will the wind blow?

Everybody talks; nobody really knows
How long will the wind blow?
Em
How long will the wind blow?
C               Am
Shoo-ba-ree-ba, shoo-ba-ree-ba
         G
Nobody knows

G
How long will the wind blow?
B
How long will the wind blow?
C                 A              G
Everybody talks; nobody really knows
How long will the wind blow?
Em
How long will the wind blow?
C               Am
Shoo-ba-ree-ba, shoo-ba-ree-ba
         G
Nobody knows
