Have you heard about the Ashidas, no one’s seen them since Christmas
A                    A                    F#m
Heard that they left during the night the husband, the wife, and the child
     Bm                       Bm
Said nothing to anyone in the morning they were gone
    E                        E      N.C.       A           D  A  E
But after what they had been through who could blame them

       A                     A                  F#m
It was only last winter they moved here to that big ol’ house on the hill
   A               A                 F#m                          F#m
We had no snow the whole winter, the weather man blamed the foehn wind
        Bm                       Bm
Said it made it too warm for the snow to fall
    E                    E    N.C.       A      A
but nobody here had ever heard of such a thing

Chorus:
D     D         A     F#m
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind
D     D         A     E  A  A
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind

Verse 2:
A                                         F#m
She was pregnant and he had invested in a local business plan
        A                                               F#m
But his partner ran off with all of their money and the ultra sound didn’t go as planned
    Bm                    Bm
And he got arrested drunk out of his mind
    E                         E  N.C.        A     D  A  E
And when he got out there was no life in his eyes

    A                                        F#m
The baby was born twelve weeks premature by emergency surgery
    A                                         F#m
The first time she held her son she asked why did he stop breathing
    Bm                             Bm                       E
The husband ran screaming down the hallway, they made it in time
                E   N.C.               A     A
but it took two months before they got home

Chorus:
D     D         A     F#m
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind
D     D         A     E  A  A
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind

Verse 3:
    A                                        F#m
The first few months were rough there was so much to learn and do
    A                                      F#m
The baby couldn’t eat on his own so he was fed through a gastric tube
   Bm            Bm
He had to be fed every four hours
       E                            E   N.C.  A      D  A  E
and it took more than an hour and a half at a time

    A                            A                     F#m
But sometimes you’d see them and hear them through the open window at night
A                        A                  F#m
Holding each other their voices joined in a quiet lullaby
Bm                         Bm
Heard that they moved back in with his folks,
             E                   E    N.C.    A         A
(I guess) in times like that you need people around you

Chorus:
D     D         A     F#m
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind
D     D         A     F#m
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind
D     D         A     F#m
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind
D     D         A     E  A
Oo-oo-oo, Foehn wind
