An orphan of the storm
(Tom Petty)
[G] [G] [Am] [Am] [C] [D] [G] [G]
An [G]orphan of the storm
She moved to H[Am]ouston
To l[C]ive below
That c[D]opper colored s[G]ky
Lou[G]isiana girl
Born into l[Am]osing
The sk[C]yline of the c[D]ity
Made her c[G]ry
(Chorus)
So l[G]ord send me down
A fallen [Am]angel
With a miracle to perf[D]orm
And I ain't the k[C]ind
Who gives [D]up
G G/F Em
But I'm so tired of rain
L[C]ord I'm just an
[E]Orphan of the st[G]orm
She'd lived there before
When she was using
Now she's standing on
The same old street again
Yeah that hurricane
It blew her back to Houston
Had to give into
The devil's howling wind
(Chorus)
Now somewhere down the line
There must be salvation
She thought it through
20 years ago
But sin spoke
A constant invitation
It was in her veins
And wouldn't let her go
(Chorus 2x)
