[Chorus]

N.C.           C   C7              F    Fm
Oh the wayward wind  is a restless wind

           C                   G7
A restless wind that yearns to wander

          C   C7            F   Fm
And I was born  the next of kin

            C          F       C
The next of kin to the wayward wind

[Verse 1]

     C
In a lonely shack by a railroad track

  C
I spent my younger days

      C
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound

          G7                   C
Made me a slave to my wand'rin ways

[Chorus]

N.C.            C   C7              F    Fm
And the wayward wind  is a restless wind

           C                   G7
A restless wind that yearns to wander

          C   C7            F   Fm
And I was born  the next of kin

            C          F       C
The next of kin to the wayward wind

[Verse 2]

     C
Oh I met a girl in a border town

  C
I vowed we'd never part

         C
Though I tried my best to settle down

           G7                 C
She's now alone with a broken heart

[Chorus]

N.C.            C   C7              F    Fm
And the wayward wind  is a restless wind

           C                   G7
A restless wind that yearns to wander

          C   C7            F   Fm
And I was born  the next of kin

            C          F       C
The next of kin to the wayward wind

            C          F       C
The next of kin to the wayward wind
