C                F 
Listening to the wind 
                              C 
Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend 
                       G7 
Wishing you and I were close again 
                 C 
Listening to the wind 

 

                 A#  F 
Listening to the bre-eze 
                           C 
As it whispers through the poplar trees 
                    G7 
Do you think I mean way back then 
                     C 
Do you listen to the wind 

Verso 2. 

                 F 
Listening to the night 
                                  C 
Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight 
                      G7 
I can almost hear the stars so bright 
                 C 
Listening to the night 



                 A#  F 
Listening to the so-unds 
                          C 
Of a highway through some distant town 
                      G7 
I can almost hear the pale moon light 
                     C 
Do you listen to the night 

Verso 3. 

                F 
Listening to my mind 
                                      C 
Searching through my thoughts for the perfect time 
                     G7 
Using tricks and telepathy at times 
                      C 
Do you listen to your mind 

 

                 A#  F 
Listening to the bre-eze 
                           C 
As it whispers through the poplar trees 
                       G7 
Wishing you and I were close again 
                      C 
Just listening to the wind
