"She Took the Wind from His Sails" by George Strait from the album "George Strait" Written by Dean Dillon and Donny Kees Transcribed by Jason and Jennifer Hannan Intro: D A D Outer banks of North Carolina Lies a sleepy harbor town Generations of old sailors G Dropped their sails and settled down D Sam he is a young seafarer Grandson of a schooner man Catherine is a sail makers daughter G Today hes gonna take her hand Chorus: Bm G Calm waters Bm G Wish them well His ships come in A D Shes put the wind in his sails D Catherine is a canvas painter Paints the sun and sand and sea Lately shes been painting a portrait G Sammy is a dad to be Repeat chorus D January brought the fever Sam was right there by her side Doctor told him son Im sorry G But Catherine needs your prayers tonight D Morning light brought Sam a daughter Fever took his better half Sam gave Catherine to the water G As he held their baby to his chest Bm G Calm waters Bm G Wished him well His ship came in A D But she took the wind from his sails G His ship came in A D But she took the wind from his sails
