[Intro]
E   B   A  E
[Verse]
Oh, The Laramie lightsB  
Sparkle like Ediamonds
Like the stars fallen down from the Bnight
They just kept a-C#mshining
And there's a Arunaway train
On the Bhigh desert plain
UnC#mtamed and it won't be fenced Ain
And it's Eknown by the nameB  
Of the Wyoming EWind
[Verse]
It'll rip through a manB  
Like a bullet, but Efaster
From ECody on down to CheyBenne
Clear through to NeC#mbraska
Oh, it Ahowls and it haunts
Goes Bwhere it wants
It'll C#mtaunt you and get under your Askin
No, there Eain't no shelterB  
From the Wyoming EWind
[Verse]
As the C#mtears you did weep
Washed the Ablood from your cheeks
And the Estars faded into the Bblue
When you C#mheard the wind blowing
Did you Afeel more alone
Or did it Esound like god whispering to Byou?
[Verse]
EWide open spaces
And Bnothing but time to forEget
Anger flares up and then Bfades
like a cowboy cigarC#mette
ReserAvation ghosts
Old sBplit-rail fence posts
Just C#mechoes remain of our Asins
They Ewhine, whine, whBine
On the Wyoming EWind
Yes, they Ewhine, whine, whBine
On the Wyoming EWind

C#m

[Intro]

E B A E

[Verse]

Oh, The Laramie lights

Sparkle like diamonds

Like the stars fallen down from the night

C#m

They just kept a-shining

And there's a runaway train

On the high desert plain

C#m A

Untamed and it won't be fenced in

E B

And it's known by the name

Of the Wyoming Wind

[Verse]

It'll rip through a man

Like a bullet, but faster

E B

From Cody on down to Cheyenne

C#m

Clear through to Nebraska

Oh, it howls and it haunts

Goes where it wants

C#m A

It'll taunt you and get under your skin

E B

No, there ain't no shelter

From the Wyoming Wind

[Verse]

C#m

As the tears you did weep

Washed the blood from your cheeks

E B

And the stars faded into the blue

C#m

When you heard the wind blowing

Did you feel more alone

E B

Or did it sound like god whispering to you?

[Verse]

Wide open spaces

B E

And nothing but time to forget

Anger flares up and then fades

C#m

like a cowboy cigarette

Reservation ghosts

Old split-rail fence posts

C#m A

Just echoes remain of our sins

E B

They whine, whine, whine

On the Wyoming Wind

E B

Yes, they whine, whine, whine

On the Wyoming Wind
