A bluesy acoustic number
warning
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Another lyric from the Bahrain stopover - perhaps a desert influence, though it sounds more like Arizona. The tune in my head at the time ended up being stolen by 'fat cats'.. so this tune was developed around the guitar at home.
Lyrics
Sandstorm E7 Here comes the wind blowing up the dust A7 e7 Look out your window now, see the sun has turned to rust B A B A G - A Better keep your head down, better keep it in its place B A B A E7 Better do your best now, better keep out of disgrace Hear the flags flapping, tearing at their poles It’s surely got those prairie dogs scuttling to their holes Pull the covers up up over your ears Turn the lighting up to blot out your fears A7 E There’s a sand storm coming feel the grit in your eyes A7 E There’s a sand storm coming so you’d better be wise A7 E There’s a sand storm coming hope you know what to do F#7 Bb7 B7 E7 There’s a sand storm coming down on you Hear the pitter-patter now scratching at the glass Better keep well hidden, hope that it will pass But now you get the feeling it’s blowing through your bed Is it in the room now, or is it in your head?
