G
No one can ever hold the wind

         C                             G
So don't waste your time holding on to me

     D7                            G
Just let me love then I'll be gone again

    A7                            D7       G
For there's one thing little girl you must see



As long as the winds blow as long as the rivers flow

   D7                         G
As long as the train whistles scream


As long as the wild goose flies as long as the flood tides rise

D7                             G
There's just no way of holding me



Mister this chain gang can never hold

  C                                  G
A man with such a wandering restless soul

     D7                                             G
Just turn your back and that's the last time you'll see

A7                     D7         G
This old wandering boy from Tennessee



As long as the winds blow as long as the rivers flow

   D7                         G
As long as the train whistles scream


As long as the wild goose flies as long as the flood tides rise

D7                             G
There's just no way of holding me



Momma it's so good to be back home

         C                                 G
It's not right for you and papa to be here alone

    D7                          G
But listen to that late evening train

     A7                        D7      G
Well I coulda swore I heard it call my name



As long as the winds blow as long as the rivers flow

   D7                         G
As long as the train whistles scream


As long as the wild goose flies as long as the flood tides rise

D7                             G
There's just no way of holding me
