Intro: G F (repeat)
Verse 1
C Em7 Am G
My heavy heart pounds hard tonight
F
Down this highway in the wind
G
The windshield wipers clean away
Am C
The tears I cry within
C Em7 Am G
The Love I've thrown away, I know,
F
I'll never feel again...
G F C
And I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind
Chorus:
G
Some one cut me down from here
F C
I can't prove what don't exist
G
Did you feel the same as I?
Am G
Or was there something I might have missed?
F C
I turned my back on everyone
F C
Who wanted me to win
F C
I needed you so bad, I guess
Am G
That's the way I was back then
G F C
Now I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind
Verse 2
I believe I'll go down to the bridge
And watch the trains roll by
See the sparks fly from their wheels
Where the rocks and the cinders lie
The weight I feel inside tonight
Could put a freight train in a spin
And I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
Love made a fool of me
At the gates of the guillotine
I can't believe I heard the Truth
Comin' from your answering machine
How did I become this broken man?
Was I too blind to bend?
Now I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind
I, yi yi yi, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind
G
Some one cut me down from here
F C
I been Hangin' here too long
G
Release me from the Binds of Love
F C
I can't tell Right from Wrong
