Chorus
-5  -5 -5    -6  -5-5  6  -5    -4
The wayward wind is a restless wind,

-5 -5 -5   -6    7    -8    7   8 7
A restless wind that yearns to wander.

7  -8   7   -9   -8  7   -6 6-5
And he was born the next of kin,

-5  -5    6  -6 4   4  -4 -5    -5
The next of kin to the wayward wind.verse 1

-5 -6 7  7    7   7  7  -8  7   -6   
In a lonely shack by a railroad track

 7   -8    7  -6 -5   -67
he spent his younger days,

-5 -6   7    7    7    7  7   -8  7   -6
And I guess the sound of the outward bound

  7  -8  7   8   -8  7  -6    6    -6
Made him a slave to his wand'ring ways.

chorus

verse 2
I met him there in a border town, he vowed we'd never part.
Though he tried his best to settle down
I'm now alone with a broken heart.
