[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
