verse 1
C
You were born by the rolling ocean;
Dm G
I was born in the mountains green.
C
Sing to the wind and the wind will tell you
Dm G C
All of the things the wind has seen.
C
Listen to the tin can highway hummin';
Dm G
Listen to the plow in the new green ground.
C
Hear the sound of a freight train comin'.
Dm G C
There could be a place you never have found.
C
Listen to the sound,; listen to the sound;
F G
Listen to the tune that the wind brought down.
C
Listen to the old-time sound of the fiddle
F G C
Telling of the place you never have found.
verse 2
C
We were born by different highways;
Dm G
That's the difference in our ways.
C
You can hear a sound of far off places...
Dm G C
Echoes of a song in other days.
C
You were born by the rolling ocean
Dm G
I was born in the mountains green.
C
Sing to the wind and the wind will tell you
Dm G C
All of the things you never have seen.
C
Listen to the sound,; listen to the sound;
F G
Listen to the tune that the wind brought down.
Listen to the old-time sound of the fiddle
F G C
Telling of the place you never have found.
