E              A
I left home in spring one time
E              A
Anxious for what I might find
E              A
Wound up broke in Carolina
E              A
Went to work on a tree farm

E              A
Met a girl on the planting line
E              A
She was strong and she was kind
E              A
She'd come down from Carolina
F#m            B
Running from a memory

E              A
Sitting by the fireside
E              A
We'd talk late into the night
E              A
About the lessons of our lives
E              A
How she learned hers and I learned mine
E              A
She learned hers in a broken home
F#m           B
I learned my alone

A           F#m           C#m   B    A
If the wind blows, you're gone gone gone (x2)
A           F#m     A      E
If the wind blows, you're gone

E              A
Who knows what you're gonna find
E              A
When you aren't even trying
E              A
Two stray dogs on the planting row
E              A
Fell in love, now we can't let go

E              A
I got her and she's got me
E              A
We got love and a bag of seed
E              A
We're together hey we don't mind
E              A
If the foreman cuts it all down in time
E              A
gonna move a little further on down the line
F#m                     B
life is short you keep rolling

A           F#m           C#m   B    A
If the wind blows, you're gone gone gone (x2)
A           F#m     A      E
If the wind blows, you're gone
