  			Wind in the Wire by Randy Travis 
 
This is my first attempt at tabbing a song, so any corrections would be  
great. 
I'm pretty sure this is incorrect but I finger pick the chords on the D, G  
and B Strings, strumming also sounds good. 
If anyone corrects this tab, please send it to me, 
 
Thanks,

Em              D 
I'd been ridin' fence all day 
Bm            Em 
Way up on the summer range 
Em               D 
Found a place to make my bed 
Bm             Em 
As the evening shadow spread 
 
C		    Em 
Beyond the campfire light 
C                            Em 
Through the stillness of the night 
C                             Em  D 
Came the call of the coyote's cho-ir 
C                 D           Em 
And a song of the wind in the wire 
 
(Repeat Intro Riff) 
 
Em                 D 
As it strummed the rusted strings 
Bm             Em 
It sang a long forgotten theme 
Em             D 
Many moons and many suns 
Bm          Em 
Of the real Americans 
 
C		       Em 
When the arrow and the bow 
C		     Em 
Stalked the range of bufallo 
C                            Em  D 
And the call of the coyote's cho-ir 
C                         D           Em 
And you know songs of the wind in the wire 
 
(Fancy Riff, If someone figures it out please post it.) 
 
Em             D 
As the ghostly baladeer 
Bm             Em 
Hypnotized me, I could hear 
Em              D 
Bugle calls and battle cries 
Bm                  Em 
Broken promises and lies 
 
C		   Em 
The spirits of the plains 
C		     Em 
Still sing their sad refrain 
C                            Em  D 
And the call of the coyote's cho-ir 
C                 D           Em 
And a song of the wind in the wire 
 
C		   Em 
The spirits of the plains 
C		     Em 
Still sing their sad refrain 
C                            Em  D 
And the call of the coyote's cho-ir 
C                 D           Em 
And a song of the wind in the wire 
 
(Repeat Intro Riff)
