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
