A7               D                 G 
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind 
      D                   A7	 
A restless wind that yearns to wander 
          D    D7             G   Gm 
And I was born   the next of kin 
            D   A7                 D     G    D 
The next of kin    to the wayward wind 
A7    D                G         D 
In a lonely shack by a railroad track 
   G       D 
I spent my younger days, 
       D                     G       D 
And I guess the sound of the outward bound 
           A7                     D    G    D 
Made me a slave to its wand'rin' ways. 

      D                   A7 
A restless wind that yearns to wander 
          D    D7             G   Gm 
And I was born   the next of kin 
            D   A7                 D     G    D 
The next of kin    to the wayward wind 
A7               D                 G 
Oh, I met her there in a border town, 
      D                   A7 
I vowed we'd never part; 
            D   A7                 D     G    D 
Though I tried my best to settle down, 
A7               D                 G 
She's now alone with a broken heart. 
A7               D                 G 
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind 
      D                   A7	 
A restless wind that yearns to wander 
          D    D7             G   Gm 
And I was born   the next of kin 
            D   A7                 D     G    D 
The next of kin    to the wayward wind 
            D   A7                 D     G    D 
The next of kin    to the wayward wind. 
      D                   A7 
A restless wind that yearns to wander 
          D    D7             G   Gm 
And I was born   the next of kin
