Biography:
Shannon and the Clams is an American indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, the band has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups.
Like a Beach Rock revival, Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud.

Shannon and The Clams - Strange Wind
[Intro]
Bm A G F#
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m
There was a night with a strange wind
Em Bm
Blew through the town, made the pipes sing
Bm F#m
We learned that song and played it each night
Bm Em
As loud as we could under strange light
D C#m Bm
And everyone learned every strange word, and that was our song
[Chorus]
Bm A G F#
Another time hidden inside where no one can find us
Bm A G F# Bm
Safe underground making our sound, let it remind us of home
[Interlude]
Bm
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m
There was a night with a fire
Em Bm
Silenced the wind and the pipes burned
Bm F#m
And the whole world saw us cry
Bm Em
Just as we are under strange light
D C#m Bm
And everything learned how our words burned, and they knew our song
[Chorus]
Bm A G F#
Another time hidden inside where no one can find us
Bm A G F# Bm
Safe underground making our sound, let it remind us of home
[Solo]
