Against the wind
Bob Seeger
DIt seems like yesterday,
F#mbut it was long ago.
GJaney was lovely; she was the Dqueen of my nights.
AThere in the darkness with the radio, Gplaying low.
DAnd the secrets that we shared,
F#mthe mountains that we moved,
GCaught like wildfire Dout of control
till there was Gnothing left to burn and Anothing left to prove.
And I reHmmember Awhat she said to Dme.
How she Hmswore that it Anever would Dend.
I reHmmember how she Aheld me, Doh so tight.
GWish I didn't know now what I Adidn't know then.
DAgainst the F#mwind. GWe were running against the Dwind.
We were Gyoung and F#mstrong, we were Emrunning aGgainst the Dwind.
DAnd the years rolled slowly past.
F#mAnd I found myself alone.
GSurrounded by strangers I Dthought were my friends.
AI found myself further and Gfurther from my home.
DAnd I guess I lost my way.
F#mThere were oh, so many roads.
I was Gliving to run, and Drunning to live,
Never Gworrying about paying, or even Ahow much I owed.
Runnin' Hm8 miles a Aminute for Dmonths at a time.
Breaking Hmall of the Arules that would Dbend.
I beHmgin to Afind myself just Dsearching.
GSearching for shelter aAgain and again.
DAgainst the F#mwind. GWe were running against the Dwind.
We were Gyoung and F#mstrong, we were Emrunning aGgainst the Dwind.
(Solo for 1st 2 stanzas of verse)
Well those Hmdrifter's Adays are Dpast me now.
I've got Hmso much Amore to think aDbout.
HmDeadlines Aand commDitments.
GWhat to leave in. AWhat to leave out.
DAgainst the F#mwind. GWe were running against the Dwind.
We were Gyoung and F#mstrong, we were Emrunning aGgainst the Dwind.
Well I'm Colder now and still Am7running aCgainst the wind.
Against the Gwind. Against the Cwind. Against the Gwind -- still running.
Against the Cwind -- I'm still running against the wind.
Against the Gwind -- I'm still running.
Against the Cwind -- I'm still running against the wind.
Against the Gwind -- still running.
Against the Cwind -- running against the wind -- running against the wind
Against the Gwind -- see the young man run.
Against the Cwind -- watch the young man run.
Against the Gwind -- watch the young man running.
Against the Cwind -- he'll be running against the wind.
Against the Gwind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the Cwind -- Oooh
Against the Gwind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the Cwind -- they'll be riding again the wind.
Against the Gwind -- against the wind.
Against the Cwind -- riding against the wind.
Against the Gwind -- against the wind.
Ride, ride, ride, ride, Cride -- against the wind.
