[Chorus]
   N.C.     B7                 E
The wayward wind is a restless wind.
Em         Bmaj7  B6             F#7
A restless wind   that yearns to wan-der.
           F#m7              E
And he was bo-rn the next of kin..
Em          B    E/C#           B
the next of kin, to the wayward wind.


[Verse 1]
B
In a lonely shack by a railroad track,

he spent his younger days.
B                                    
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound,
F#7                                B
made him a sla-ve, to his wandring ways.


[Chorus]
  N.C.          B7              E
And the wayward wind is a restless wind.
Em         Bmaj7  B6             F#7
A restless wind   that yearns to wan-der.
           F#m7      B7      E
And he was bo-rn the next of kin..
Em          B    E/C#           B
the next of kin, to the wayward wind.

[Verse 2]
B
Oh, I met him there in a border town..
                    
he vowed we'd never part.
B
Though he tried his best to settle down,
F#7                         B
I'm now alone with a broken heart.


[Chorus]
   N.C.                            E
And the wayward wind is a restless wind.
Em         Bmaj7  B6             F#7
A restless wind   that yearns to wan-der.
           F#m7       B7          E
And he was born-nn-nn the next of kin..
Em          B    E/C#           B
the next of kin, to the wayward wind.


[Outro]
Em          B   E/C#           B
The next of kin to the wayward wind.
