Petrichor chords by Paul Kelly

Verse 1:
C                   Dm
It hasn’t rained, 6 months or more
C             Dm
Till today, a sudden pour
C                   Dm           Am
Now I can smell the petrichor outside
C                        Dm
The sighing ground gives up its love
C                       Dm
Unto the breeze and the trees above
C                     Dm        Am
Suddenly your phantom shoves my side

Em F G

I don’t need you

Verse:

C                 Dm
I never loved you more than when
C                   Dm
I turned and walked into the wind
C                    Dm                  Am
And left you leaning on an old friend of mine
C                 Dm
I walked straight into my head
C                   Dm
The hardest thing I ever did
C                 Dm       Am
Seabirds wheeling overhead crying

Em F G

Chorus:
G
I don’t need you
F                 Em F
I don’t need you
G
I don’t need you
F                 C      Dm
But I sure I want you

Verse:
C                 Dm
I wish I knew the names of things
C                     Dm
Of trees and flowers, birds that sing
C                          Dm               Am
You’re much better at that kinda thing than I
C                      Dm
And I don’t know these stars up here
C                   Dm
You’d fill me in if you were near
C                        Dm         Am
You taught me petrichor, our secret sign


Em F G

Chorus:
G
I don’t need you
F                 Em F
I don’t need you
G
I don’t need you
F                 C      Dm
But I sure I want you

C             Dm
I sure I want you
C          Dm
I want you
C
