Dm       F             C        Am7
Drivin' down from the Highland line
Am7                        A#maj7
We done some gigs on the Clyde and the Tyne
Dm           F          C        Am7
They flew us in from a Hamburg strip
Am7                           A#maj7
The taste of Dusseldorf still on our lips

And on the bus there is a friend of mine
We go way back to the scene of the crime
We sit up front and share a cigarette
And try to remember what we tried to forget

         Dm
He said "Do you remember?"
         A#             C Am7
He said "Do you recall?"
         Dm
I said "Yeah, I remember
        A#           C Am7
Oh I remember it all"

Chorus:
Dm
Every time that cold wind blows
A#            C        Am7
Every time I hear the sound
Dm
Late night train shunting down by the river
A#           C      Am7
I remember windy town

We come so far and we move so fast
Making hay see it all go past
Round the world and round again
Up and down on that gravy train

Chorus:
But every time that cold wind blows
Every time I hear that sound
The east coast cross winds on the cold wet stone
I remember windy town

Dm                           C
The freezin' corners and the empty streets
Am7                         A#maj7
The burnin' passion and the cold wet feet
Dm                      C
Three tricky miles home every night
Am7                             A#maj7
Dodgin' from the shadows underneath those
amber lights

No car for kissing and nowhere to go
Except inside each other and I loved you so
I held your face as you shivered in the rain
Girl I'll always love you and I'll love you again

 A#maj7
Oh everytime, everytime

Chorus:
Every time that cold wind blows
Every time I hear that sound
Late night trains shunting down by the river
I remember windy town
Every time that cold wind blows
Every time I hear that sound
The east coast cross winds on the cold wet stone
I remember windy town
