Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C

[Intro]
C   F   G
C   F   G
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                               F           G         C   F  G
The heart of the matter is the heart don't matter at all
          C                               F                     C    F  G
And the charts don't tell you that there ain't no safe port of call
C             F         G                 C   F  G
I could stand    some pleasure with the pain
    C            F       G             C    F  G
And I could take   some sun with the rain
 
 
[Chorus]
      F                        G              C            G       Am
But predicting the forces of nature is like predicting a woman's behavior
    F                   G                   F
No matter which way I turn here comes the storm
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C                       F                G           C    F  G
There was a time when I  thought I knew just what to do
C                       F     G            C    F  G
There was a time when I    thought I knew you
     C                          F  G           C    F  G
But your peace of mind seems to be so hard to find
      C                      F       G          C    F  G
More nautical miles seems to be the answer for mine
 
 
[Chorus]
      F                        G              C            G       Am
But predicting the forces of nature is like predicting a woman's behavior
    F                   G                   F
No matter which way I turn here comes the storm
 
         F                        G              C            G       Am
Yeah,  predicting the forces of nature is like predicting a woman's behavior
    F                   G                   F
No matter which way I turn here comes the storm
                    C
 Oh here comes the storm
F       G           C
  Yeah just like a storm
F         G           C
  Feels just like a storm
 
 
[Bridge]
(This is spoken over the repeating pattern)
C        F         G
It's like when you're sitting on the back porch
C        F
And you look out to the west
G
and you see the storm clouds start rolling in
C
And you know no matter what you do
F       G
There is nothin' you can do to keep that storm from coming
C
It's the same when she's walking out the front door
F       G
And she's got her suitcase in her hand When that car door slams
C        F       G
She's leavin' and there ain't nothin' you can do about it.
 
 
[Chorus]
F       G           C
  Yeah just like a storm
F         G           C
  Feels just like a storm
F    G              C
Oh here comes the storm
F     G               C
Yeah here comes the storm

[Outro]
     C                 F           G           C     F  G
When I left the island   Man, my heart was on fire
   C                        F              G            C     F   G
So I bet my future on the light of Saint Christopher's star
