[Verse 1]
F
  Made up my mind to go
F                           Am         G   G
  Some place so far away, I   headed west
    F
Without a sad goodbye
F                           Am              G       F
  No hugs or tears that way, it's probably for the best
F
  I sent cards along the way
F                          Am          G
  Said I was looking for a brand new life
F
   But I never settled down
F                              Am          G       F     F
   My wanderlust would always cut the ties  like a knife
F
  Sometimes the lonesome wind
F                        Am   G  G
  It calls out like it knows me
F
  And on a night like this
F                                   Am    G       F      F
  When I don't know where to go, it shows me the way

[Chorus]
        C    F    F
'Cause knows me,
   C       F
My brother wind
     C       Am
He's lonely, too
       G           F   F C F
And he takes me away

[Verse 2]
F
  I always looked ahead
F                            Am          G     G
  I was so afraid that I'd be caught behind
F
  I followed a crooked stream
    F                        Am       G       F   F
To places I'd never been and one more highway sign
F
  And I'm like some other guys
F                                  Am       G
  I might count the hours 'til the day will end
F
  But it's not so I can rest
F                                  Am          G     F     F
  For me it's the time that's best for talking to my friend

[Chorus]
        C    F    F
'Cause knows me,
   C       F
My brother wind
     C       Am
He's lonely, too
       G           F 
And he takes me away

[Instrumental]
F Am G F Am G F Am G F Am G F

[Verse 3]
F
  Now half my life is gone
F                          Am         G
  The only home I ever had    is open road
F
  My skin's all cracked and brown
       F                                   Am         G             F
It's a mirror to the desert ground and the dusty wind   that always blows
F
  And I never made a mark
F                                  Am          G    G
  I just scattered footsteps on these shifting sands
F
  Whatever pushes me
F                              Am     G     F         F
  It's something only he could   ever understand

[Chorus]
        C    F
'Cause knows me,
   C       F
My brother wind
     C       Am
He's lonely, too
       G           F 
And he takes me away

[Chorus]
        C    F
'Cause knows me,
   C       F
My brother wind
     C       Am
He's lonely, too
       G           F 
And he takes me away
