Ebm       Db         Ab             Bbm        Bb

[Verse 1]
Ebm               Db
Windmill, keep on turning
     Ab                  Ebm
Keep rolling through the sky
Ebm                  Db
Watch you from these meadows
         Ab                  Ebm
Where my granddad worked his life
Ebm                          Db
Your pearl white wings and torn up spine
     Ab             Ebm
Rise high above the pines
Ebm                Db
Just like us all, one day you'll fall
        Ebm           Ebm
On this very same ridgeline

Eb       Db         Ab             Bbm        Bb

[Verse 2]
Ebm                      Db
The cabinet factory back in town
Ab                   Ebm
Closed its doors for good
Ebm                        Db               Ab
It's been a few months and folks are moving on
               Ebm
To selling firewood
  Ebm              Db
I sell my craft for half its price
   Ab                Ebm
To city folk passing by
Ebm                       Db
In a covered shack by the side of the road
       Ab                  Ebm
With a cardboard furniture sign
Ebm                Db
I'd say I'm lucky, I suppose
  Ab                  Ebm
I made it through the undertow
Ebm                      Db
Back in trapper way in a cold dark holler
Ab           Ebm
Ain't nobody overdose

[Verse 3]
Ebm                     Db
It ain't all bad like I make it out
      Ab                    Ebm
These hills are pretty damn nice
      Ebm            Db
I can step out of my backdoor
           Ab           Ebm
And get my supper every night
Ebm                         Db
Women 'round here ain't the fickle kind
      Ab            Ebm
Their word is their bond
          Ebm             Db
When they say "I do" that means "For life"
     Ab                           Ebm
They got your back when times get hard
Ebm          Db
Coffee and a sunrise
     Ab              Ebm
Is a sight to see in fall
        Ebm                Db
All the dancing leaves and chilly breeze
    Ab                 Ebm
Can help you forget it all

[Verse 4]
Ebm               Db
Windmill, keep on turning
     Ab                  Ebm
Keep rolling through the sky
Ebm              Db
Just like us all one day you'll fall
         Ab                  Ebm
On these very same old ridge lines
N.C.
Windmill, keep on turning
N.C.
Keep rolling through the sky
N.C.
Just like us all one day you'll fall
N.C.
On these very same old ridge lines
