Chinook Wind
Corb Lund
Losin' Lately Gambler
I Dwas born with the chinook wind howlin' in my ears
That rocky mountain gusty shit it dried me out for years
Way back I think my grandpa had a roGpe horse by that name
AlDl I know is god here comes that oAld west wind agDain
There's lotsa kinds of problems and there's lotsa kinds of pain
Some will sweat the blazing sun and some rot in the rain
Here we got the chinook wind a blowin' every day
It's gonna send the good dirt east and leave a terrible migraine
Chorus:
Let her blGow let her blDow
Whisper me thAings that GI don't kDnow
Let her blGow let her blDow
Let her blAow away illusions like she meGlts the drAiftin' snDow
There comes a time I stood my ground and said I've had my fill
Of that moisture sucking west wind roarin' in off them hills
Before it blew me crazy I let it carry me away
They told me son you ain't the first that breeze will drive a man insane
Chorus:
Let her blow let her blow
Whisper me things that I don't know
Let her blow let her blow
Let her blow away illusions like she melts the winter snow
Solo: Play twice: strum A chord a few times at the end before restarting

If you need me you can find me here waitin' on a change
Staring at the distance and askin' what it takes
To make that old chinook turn back and blow the other way
And maybe if I'm lucky have it blow me home again
Chorus:
Let her blow let her blow
Whisper me things that I don't know
Let her blow let her blow
Let her blow away illusions like she melts the winter snow
