E MajorE      D MajorD
Promises you made to me
E MajorE         D MajorD
You said the rivers and the trees
B minorBm               D MajorD
Would fill our pockets and our plates
B minorBm      D MajorD
Promises you made
E MajorE            D MajorD
You said the birds would blanket us
E MajorE           D MajorD
You said the world was generous
B minorBm               D MajorD
And wouldn’t turn its back on us

The river froze
A augmentedA
The trees were bare
B minorBm           A augmentedA

So me too I flew away

From promises you made

Promises you made to me

Whatever weather came our way
B minorBm        D MajorD
Promises you made

B minorBm         A augmentedA
That we would walk, side by side
B minorBm           A augmentedA
Through all the seasons of our lives
      B minorBm      C majorC
'Neath any sky, down any road
C majorC        D MajorD
Any way the wind blows

Whatever promises I’ve made

Any way the wind blows
