The wayward wind (Listen to midi) (Listen to sample)

D D - D7 G

Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind,

D A7

a restless wind that yearns to wander.

D - D7 G - Gm

And I was born the next of kin,

D - A D

the next of kin to the wayward wind.

D

1. In a lonely shack by a railroad track,

I spent my younger days,

and I guess the sound of the outward-bound

A A7 - - - - - - - - - - - - D - G - D

made me a sla…..ave to my wanderin' ways.

+ CHORUS (origin. moves up half a note here)

D

2. Oh I met a girl in a border town,

I vowed we'd never part,

though I tried my best to settle down,

A A7 - - - - - - - - - - D

she's now al……one with a broken heart.

+ CHORUS

Gm D G D - Gm

Ah, the next of kin to the wayward wind.

D G D - Gm

The next of kin to the wayward wind….
