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
