D    C    G        C         D
I've been shot for tresspassing
D    C    G    C      D
Down in        New Orleans
D   C   G        C      C
Tangled up, I've been undone
D    C      G        C       D
I've been uncovered and I've run

[Chorus]
Em       D   Em          D
Rattlin'     on the wind
Em                D             Em              D
Looking for that whispered ship that we've been
Em        D        Em    D
Following    for a sea~son
        Em       D   Em          D
And I'm Rattlin'     on the wind

[Verse]
  D   C    G       C        D
I was born free, I was born proud
        D    C       G             C           D
With my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground
D    C     G           C       D
I've been caught in a spider's web
   D   C   G         C      D
By casting nets in ladies' beds     Yes I'm-


[Chorus]
Em            D            Em            D
I've seen the kudzu how it covers up the south
     Em          D              Em           D
It's covering my eyes and it's coming out my mouth
  Em           D             Em                  D
I feel like I feel when the trees withstand the flood
    Em               D                      Em            D
I'm careful where im walking, don't want to step into the mud

[Solo]

[Verse]
    D      C   G       C       G
The hitch--hi--ker was leading me to
    D     C   G          C            G
The sweet wa--ter at the mountain's feet
     D    C   G               C         G
That for--est porchlight, it slapped my eyes
    D    C     G          C         G
The door swung wide as a night owl cried
    D      C   G        C           G
The hitch--hi--ker, he cured his words
D    C  G            C     G
Dis--a--ppeared just as I heard a
D     C     G          C           G
Bomb--shell blast and split the night
D    C   G              C          G
Took me down just as it blew my mind.      And I'm-


[Chorus]
Em       D   Em          D
Rattlin'     on the wind
Em                D             Em              D
Looking for that whispered ship that we've been
Em        D        Em    D
Following    for a sea~son
        Em       D   Em          D
And I'm Rattlin'     on the wind


[Solo]


[Chorus]
Em       D   Em          D
Rattlin'     on the wind
Em                D             Em              D
Looking for that whispered ship that we've been
Em        D        Em    D
Following    for a sea~son
        Em       D   Em          D
And I'm Rattlin'     on the wind
