Baby don't fall in love with me 
B                      E 
I'll only bring you grief 
                           F#m 
Baby, don't set your heart on me 
B                   E 
I'll only have to leave 
 E                      A                 E 
'Cause the north wind flows through my veins 
                        A           E 
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain

Inherit the wind 

E               F#m 
Daddy, he was a travelling man 
B                   E 
I hardly knew his face 
                   F#m 
Momma, she cried for him at night 
B                    E 
He never stayed in one place 


 E                      A                 E 
'Cause the north wind flows through my veins 
                        A           E 
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain 
C#m                              F#m 
In the morning I'll have to leave again 
A                        E              D

Inherit the wind 

E                    F#m 
Oh I can't give you the love you need 
B                        E 
I just won't be here that long 
                    F#m 
But if you still want me here tonight 
B                     E 
I'll love you till the break of dawn 

 E                      A                 E

Like my dad there's a dream in my brain 
C#m                              F#m 
In the morning I'll have to leave again 
A                        E              D 
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
