[Verse 1]
You said Esome winds blow forAever, and B7I didn't underEstand.

So we Ewalked along the G#mseaside, where Atrees grow just one Eway.
Pointing Eout the one diG#mrection, that the Awind blows,A  
day after Gda - Ey.E  
[Chorus]
EOne way wind, Eone way wind,   B7are you trying to B7blow my mind.
EOne way wind, Eone way wind,   B7is she her that I Bhoped to find.
EWhy you blow the G#mcold every day, Atell me what are you Btrying to sayB.

No, I Edon't know all aAbout you, and B7maybe I never Ewill.
But I Edo know every Aword of our B7talking upon the Ehill.
And whenEever I will G#msee you, for Amaybe one more Etime.
I am Esure I'll get the G#manswer, that the Awind has,A  
still in Gmi - End.E  
[Chorus]
EOne way wind, Eone way wind,   B7are you trying to B7blow my mind.
EOne way wind, Eone way wind,   B7is she her that I Bhoped to find.
EWhy you blow the G#mcold every day, Atell me what are you Btrying to say.
