[Intro]
C   Am   Dm   G
I envy the Cwind
That whispers in your Amear
That howls through the Dmwinter
That freezes your Gfingers
That moves through your Chair
And cracks your Amlips
That chills you to the DmboneG  
I envy the Cwind
I envy the Crain
That falls on your Amface
That wets your eyeDmlashes
That dampens your Gskin
That touches your Ctongue
That soaks through your Amshirt
And drips down your DmbackG  
I envy the Crain
I envy the Csun
That brightens your Amsummer
That warms your Dmbody
And holds you in her Gheat
That makes your days Clonger
That makes you Amhot
That makes you DmsweatG  
I envy the Csun
I envy the Cwind
I envy the Amrain
I envy the DmsunG  
I envy the Cwind

Capo 1

[Intro]

C Am Dm G

I envy the wind

That whispers in your ear

That howls through the winter

That freezes your fingers

That moves through your hair

And cracks your lips

Dm G

That chills you to the bone

I envy the wind

I envy the rain

That falls on your face

That wets your eyelashes

That dampens your skin

That touches your tongue

That soaks through your shirt

Dm G

And drips down your back

I envy the rain

I envy the sun

That brightens your summer

That warms your body

And holds you in her heat

That makes your days longer

That makes you hot

Dm G

That makes you sweat

I envy the sun

I envy the wind

I envy the rain

Dm G

I envy the sun

I envy the wind
