She Took the Wind From His Sails

"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
