           D 
In the old cold embers of the year  
      G                    D 
When joy and comfort disappear  
   G                     G/F# 
I search around to find her  
      Em 
I'm a hundred miles behind her 
     G         A                  D        A 
The open road whispered in her ear 
    D 
She never could resist a winding road 
    G                               D 
She never could resist a winding road 
  G                     G/F#      
Maybe just around the bend 
  Em 
The rainbow waiting at the end 
     G           A                   D                A 
She never could resist a winding road 
D 
She never could stay any place too long 
     G                                  D 
To not be standing still's where she belongs 
   G                                   G/F# 
If you love her, better know 
   Em 
She needs you now, but soon she'll go 
    G                  A             D         
She never could stay any place too long 
       Bm                 G 
It's not that she don't care about you 
       Bm                G 
Say you love her, she don't doubt you 
       Bm              G 
But she can learn to live without you 
    Em                A 
When she hears the call 

Lead break over verse 
       Bm          G 
Love her now then let her be 
       Bm               G 
Don't tie her down, just set her free 
       Bm              G 
Too many things she wants to see 
      Em                 A              
The whole world, that's all 
       G 
She never could resist a winding road 
       D 
She never could resist a winding road 
G                         G/F# 
Maybe just around the bend 
       Em 
The rainbow waiting at the end 
     G          A                 Bm 
She never could resist a winding road 
    G            A                D       
She never could resist a winding road
