[Intro] G C F x4 [Verse 1]
G                                               C F
Get in the car she said and drive me into next week

G                                                C F
I should have turned her down, blame my curious streak

G                                           C F
I never dreamt that we’d be driving into trouble

G                                        C F
Until we hit a rock that bent my nose double
[Chorus]
D                                 Am
I’d say we both were on run, run, run

D                                         Am
She looked too fresh for twenty-one, one, one

D                                            Em
She slipped her little hand in mine, mine, mine

             Am         B  C                         G   Em
Said I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine, whine

     Am         B  C                          G
I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine
[Bridge] G C F x4 [Verse 2]
G                                               C F
Ah the wheels were moaning, we were heading ninety-five

G                                         C F
The rain was beating down, my engine was alive

G                                            C F
The roads were empty as the day turned into night

G                                      C F
With every street lamp her face shone white
[Chorus]
D                                              Am
I asked her name and she just smiled, smiled, smiled

D                                              Am
We must have clocked a thousand miles, miles, miles

D                                            Em
She said we’ll be there in a while, while, while

Am         B  C                     G        Em
I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine, whine

Am         B  C                  G
I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine
[Solo] G C F x4 [Verse 3]
G                                      C F
I was feeling weary when the car died on me

G                                               C F
I pulled her over and the strength just drained from me

G                                            C F
The price of running’s getting dearer and dearer

G                                          C F
And nothing ever seems to get nearer and nearer
[Chorus]
D                                            Am
I suppose I didn’t make the grade, grade, grade

D                                              Am
When I looked around she’d slipped away, ‘way, ‘way

D                                            Em
Out in the night you’ll see her shine, shine, shine

Am        B  C             G         Em
Waiting where the wind don’t whine, whine

Am        B  C              G         Em
Waiting where the wind don’t whine, whine

Am        B  C                  G
Waiting where the wind don’t whine
[Outro] G C F x8 D
