Thread Name: Chord Req: Western Wind (from The Limeliters)
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: WAYWARD WIND (Lebowski, Newman)
Hi Chez,

This is the best I can do for you. I don't find any minors other than the Cm. But I have to tell you I hear others or at least the potential for others.

The Limeliters were heavily arranged so I wouldn't be surprised to find an instrumental minor chord begining


Don


The Wayward Wind,

Chorus:
(G) Oh, the wayward wind is a restless (C) wind,
(Cm) a restless (G) wind, that yearns to (D7) wander.   
And he was (G7) born the next of (C) kin,
(Cm) The next of (G) kin, (D7) to the (C)wayward (G) wind.   

(G) In a lonely shack by a railroad track,
He spent his younger days.
And I guess the sound of the outward bound,
(D7) made him a slave to his wandering (G) ways.   

Repeat Chorus

(G) Oh, I met him there in a border town.
He vowed we'd never part.
Though he tried his best to settle down,
(D7) I'm now alone with a broken (G) heart.
