A
[Verse 1]
A G
There's a kind of a restless feeling and it pulls me from within
A G A
It sets my senses reeling and my wheels begin to spin
D C
In the quietude of winter you can hear the wild geese cry
A G Em
And I will always love that sound until the day I die
[Verse 2]
A G
There's a plain and a simple answer to each and every quest
A G A
From every quiet dancer who might be a special guest
D C
In a movie made for TV or a late night interview
A G Em
You might even find them on the Young and the Restless too
[Chorus]
A D
Do ya get that restless feelin' when you hear a whistle blast
C
Like an echo from the past
A G D A
Of an old engine flyin' down a road that's iron cast
[Instrumental]
| A | A Am | Am Dm | A | G |
[Verse 3]
A G
The lake is blue, the sky is gray, the leaves have turned to gold
A G A
The wild goose will be on her way, the weather's much too cold
D C
When the muskie and the old trout too have all gone down to rest
A G A
We will be returning to the things that we love best
[Chorus]
A D
Do ya get that restless yearning when you think about your dad
Am
And the scrimshaw that he had
A D A
Of an old schooner rovin' 'neath a sky that's ironclad
[Instrumental]
| A | Am | A | A | G | A | G | A |
[Verse 4]
A G
There's a kind of a restless feeling and it catches you off guard
A G A
As we gaze off at the distance through the trees in my back yard
D C
I can feel that restless yearning of those geese as off they roam
A G A
Then trade that for a warm bed and a place I can call home
[Chorus]
A D
Will ya get that restless yearning when you hear the wicked blast
Am
Of a specter from the past
A G D A
Of a cold diesel rollin' down a road that's built to last
A D
Still I get that restless feelin' when I hear a whistle blast
Am
See an image from the past
A G D A
Of an old schooner flyin' down a sky that's overcast
