E Esus E
I can see the iron horses' tracks
Esus
Pressed in the mud from the weight of all that steam and steel
A
But the wind don't blow where you want it to go
No, the wind just goes where it will and you follow
[Verse 2]
E Esus E
I can feel the breath of winter
Esus
Driving this snow across these newly-whited plains
A
Takes my breath from me and it leaves me falling
Then it picks me up again in its own strength
[Chorus]
F#m7 A
And I can hear the wild wind howling
Esus/B D2 Dmaj7 D6
And I can feel it in my bones
A2 Esus/B D Dmaj7 D6
And I know that the howling will take me home
D Esus/D Esus E

[Verse 3]
E Esus E
I can see some traveler's footprints
Esus
There's a little bit of blood in every step he made
A
I wonder what kind of burden he's bearing
That has cut him so deeply every step along the long, long way
[Verse 4]
E Esus E
In the west I see an evening
Esus
This scarlet thread stretched beneath the gathering dark
A
Red as the blood on the hands of the Savior
And rich as the mercy that flowed from His broken heart
[Chorus]
F#m7 A
And I can hear the wild wind howling
Esus/B D2 Dmaj7 D6
And I can feel it in my bones
A2 Esus/B D Dmaj7 D6
And I know that the howling will take me home
[Bridge]
F#m D A
These men of violence, they have made this a world full of wars
F#m A D Dmaj7 D6
Oh God break Your silence and let Your justice shine forth
D Dmaj7 D E
Show some mercy, Oh Lord
[Verse 5]
E Esus E
'Cause I can see a people dispossessed
Esus
Broken and brave in the face of so much fear
A
Driven from their homes by the greed of a nation
Whose treaties were as good as litter along the trail of their tears
[Verse 6]
E Esus E
I can see the Covenant colors
Esus
The sun and the rain have woven against the blue of the sky
A
And I know if we live we will live by His promise
I know He who made it and I'm sure that He would not lie
[Chorus]
F#m7 A
And I can hear the wild wind howling
Esus/B D2 Dmaj7 D6
And I can feel it in my bones
A2 Esus/B D Dmaj7 D6
And I know that the howling will take me home
D Esus/D
