[Intro]
G7       F        G7
(Strings corresponding to single notes)
G B      F A      G D B A G D
[Chorus]
               G7                 C        Cm
Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
           G                   D7
A restless wind that yearns to wander
           G     G7          C      Cm
And he was born  the next of kin
            G      D              G
The next of kinnn  to the wayward wind
[Verse]
(Strings)
G  F#  E  D
G
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
(Strings)
G  F#  E  D
He spent his younger days
(Strings)
G  F#  E  D
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
D7                                G
Made him a slave to his wandering ways
[Chorus]
               G7                 C        Cm
Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
           G                   D7
A restless wind that yearns to wander
           G     G7         C       Cm
And he was born  the next of kin
            G     D              G
The next of kinnn to the wayward wind
[Verse] (Key change, up 1/2 step)
(Strings)
Ab  G  F  Eb
Ab
Oh, I met him there in a border town
(Strings)
Ab  G  F  Eb
He vowed we'd never part
(Strings)
Ab  G  F  Eb
Though he tried his best to settle down
Eb7                  Ab
Now I'm alone with a broken heart
[Chorus]
               Ab7                Db        Dbm
Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
           Ab                  Eb7
A restless wind that yearns to wander
           Ab     Ab7       Db        Dbm
And he was born  the next of kin
            Ab    Eb             Ab
The next of kinnn to the wayward wind
