  			Verse 1: 
      D                              Bm  
	A stone thrown from Heaven,skippin' 'cross the water 
         E                                 A 
	Would disappear in ripples left behind 
           D                    Bm   
	A book with no cover,a rhyme with no reason 
                   E                            A   
	Guess i'll always be one of the rovin' kind 
 
 
Verse 2: 
                D                            Bm 
	'Cause movin's in my soul,i guess a gypsy boy got a hold 
               E                        A   
	Of somebody in my family long ago 
                 D                                    Bm  
	If some night while half asleep you hear the back door softly squeak 
                E                                  A 
	You'll touch my empty pillow,then you'll know 
 
 
Chorus: 
                      Bm       F#m          
	That restless wind,is calling me again 
             E                             A 
	Her warmin' hand is tuggin' at my soul 
                  Bm       F#m    
	Summer's gone,and winter's comin' on 
                E                                    A   
	And i can't let it catch me standin' in the cold 
 
 
Verse 3: 
      D                                        Bm  
	Life made dice out of my bones and it won't leave me alone 
              E                                 A          
	'Till it warms me up and takes another roll 
                        D                         Bm   
	You can't grow sullen every time,so there ain't no use in cryin' 
                  E                         A 
	It don't take an educated head to know 
 
 
Verse 4: 
                  D                            Bm  
	When i'm movin' down the road i won't need no overload 
             E                           A  
	Nor memories of you to weigh my mind 
            D                         Bm 
	And every step i wade will be one more i could take 
              E                                   A  
	That put those memories further down the line 
 
 
Chorus.
