A                      D          A
She would sit by her window and gaze out
           E                          A
Down the road where her children had gone
                       D             A
One by one they left seeking their fortune
      E                     A
And left their old mother alone

 A                  D               A
Sometime late at night she would call me
        E                      A
Sir did I here a knock at the door
                    D         A
I would say it was only the wind man
        E                A
Just as I had told her before

[Chorus]

       D E     A
It's only the wind
      D            E          A
Your children are not at the door
       D E     A
It's only the wind
     E                           A
The wind restless wind, nothing more

[Verse 2]

  A                  D          A
Sometime she would talk of her children
        E                       A
Of her son and her daughter so fair
                    D             A
She said they were much like the wild wind
       E                    A
They sometime neglected to care
                     D        A
One night I heard somebody knocking
       E                    A
But I saw as I went to the door
                       D            A
She was there in her chair by the window
      E              A
Her eyes closed in rest forever more

[Chorus]

       D E     A
It's only the wind
      D            E          A
Your children are not at the door
       D E     A
It's only the wind
     E                           A
The wind restless wind, nothing more
     E                           A
The wind restless wind, nothing more
