Wayward Wind
============

Originally written by Stan Lebowsky and Herb Newman.  From Demos 2000.

This song has been covered by many and the lyrics here differ from the original.  I'm guessing the Levs changed them - if you know let me know!


INTRO:
D Bm G D


VERSE:
          D               Bm
As a holy man, I lived in dreams 
           G               D
I was ignorant of all that gleames 
                 D                    Bm
Then I heard the sound of the Wayward Wind 
           G                     D  
Calling me back to the ways I've been 
A               D
To the ways I'd sinned. 


CHORUS:
                 D
And the Wayward wind 
                G
It's a restless wind 
               D
And a restless wind 
             A
That makes me wonder 
         D
If I was born 
            G
The next of kin 
            D
The next of kin
A              D
To the wayward wind 


VERSE II:
          D              Bm
First I stand and then I stumble 
            G               D
and then I crawl across the floor 
                 D                   Bm
Just to hear the sound that makes me humble 
         G                        D
It's the wayward wind calling for more 
A              D
Going round my door 


CHORUS:
                 D
And the Wayward wind 
                G
It's a restless wind 
               D
And a restless wind 
             A
That makes me wonder 
         D
If I was born 
            G
The next of kin 
            D
The next of kin
A              D
To the wayward wind


VERSE II:
                  D                         Bm
If I've been here oncce then I've been here twice 
          G                    D
Wy whole live's been poured on ice 
                 D                     Bm
When I hear that sound, that searching sound 
                 g                  D
It's the wayward wind, just come to town 
A               D
Just to hunt me down 


CHORUS:
                 D
And the Wayward wind 
                G
It's a restless wind 
               D
And a restless wind 
             A
That makes me wonder 
         D
If I was born 
            G
The next of kin 
            D
The next of kin
A              D
To the wayward wind


D  Bm  G  D
D  Bm  G  D
A  D


                 D
And the Wayward wind 
                G
It's a restless wind 
               D
And a restless wind 
             A
That makes me wonder 
         D
If I was born 
            G
The next of kin 
            D
The next of kin
A              D
To the wayward wind
            D
The next of kin
A              D
To the wayward wind

A D
