Baby don’t fall in love with me
B                 E
I’ll only bring you grief
                 F#m
Baby, don’t set your heart on me
B               E
I’ll only have to leave
 E              A           E
'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
              A        E
Like my dad there’s a dream in my brain
C#m                      F#m
In the morning I’ll have to leave again
A                 E        D
That’s how it is when you inherit the wind
     E      B
Inherit the wind

Daddy, he was a travelling man
B            E
I hardly knew his face
         F#m
Momma, she cried for him at night
B            E
He never stayed in one place


 E              A           E
'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
              A        E
Like my dad there’s a dream in my brain
C#m                      F#m
In the morning I’ll have to leave again
A                 E        D
That’s how it is when you inherit the wind
     E      B
Inherit the wind

E              F#m
Oh I can’t give you the love you need
B                 E
I just won’t be here that long
              F#m
But if you still want me here tonight
B                  E
I’ll love you till the break of dawn

 E              A           E
'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
              A        E
Like my dad there’s a dream in my brain
C#m                      F#m
In the morning I’ll have to leave again
A                 E        D
That’s how it is when you inherit the wind
     E      B
Inherit the wind
