I'm actually not sure about the G in the verse, it sounds like it might be a G7 as well.
If anyone has a good reason for one or the other, please let me know :) these are the
chords without capo. For an easier version in A minor (capo 3) see below.

VERSE
The [Cm]wind is a-whipping through the open door
speaking of the sea and the rolling waves
[Eb]Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now
or struggling on the surface with a cry for help
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you
[Cm]Twenty years ago was a howling storm
like the voice of a god from the great beyond
I was [Eb]standing on the shore as the sky grew dark
with a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you

CHORUS
Because [Eb]all I have [Bb]left is the [Fm]voice of the [Cm]wind
[Ab]blowing through the [Bb]doors of our [Cm]house!
VERSE
The [Cm]sun was drying up the rain in our sky
Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by
Re[Eb]member what they're singing on their way to the sea:
"Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me"
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]Wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you
[Cm]Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived
as the grave that I dug by our place on the beach
[Eb]How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea
so I can go and get you back ashore with me
[Fm]Wish I could forget and let the years go by
[G]Wish I could escape from my dreams of [Cm]you
CHORUS (3 times)
Because [Eb]all I have [Bb]left is the [Fm]voice of the [Cm]wind
[Ab]blowing through the [Bb]doors of our [Cm]house!
OUTRO
Cm (repeat)
