                 G (2)                           D (2)

Now and then, it keeps you runnin', never seems to die.

Bm (2)                                            C (2)

      Trail spent with fear and not enough livin' on the outside.

G (2)                                         D (2)

   Never seem to get far enough, stayin' in between the lines,

Bm (2)                                       C        C/B                       C

Hold on to what you can, waitin' for the end, not knowin' when,

 

Chorus:

G (2)

May the wind take your troubles away

               D (2)

may the wind take your troubles away

          C                              G

Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel

D                                                  G

May the wind take your troubles away.

Few and far between past the midnight hour,

C                         G                                 Em (hold 2 measures)

   you never feel alone, you're really not alone.

Switch it over AM, searchin' for a truer sound

            Bm (2)                               C (2)

can't recall the call letters, steel guitar and settle down

G (2)                                       D (2)

      catchin' an all night station, somewhere in Louisiana

Bm (2)                     C          C/B               C

Sounds like 1963 but for now, sounds like heaven.
