@SONG:THE WAYWARD WIND
        AbFAbF
Intro:  ---
         F
In the lonely shack by the railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
            C                    F
Made me a slave to my wanderin' ways
                                   Bb
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
            F                   C
A restless wind that yearns to wander
           F               B  Bbm             Bbm
                                (b-flat minor=)
And I was born the next of kin
             F C               F
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Oh, I met him down
in the border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
Now I'm all alone with a broken heart
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
(repeat chorus)
