WILD WIND BLOWS
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
INTRO: G - C - Am7 - G - G - C - Am - Am7 - C - Am7 - G
G C Am D
Down on Main Street after sundown,
G C Am D
Good time Charlie, and Wanderin' Bill
G C Am D
Thought they might hold up, ol' Hoppy's Drive-In;
G C Am D
One got away and one never will.
CHORUS:
C D G C
And that's the way it goes around here;
(around here)
G D Am7
I think everybody knows
(I guess everybody knows)
C D G C
That's the song they've been singin' for years
(and years)
G D C
That's the way the wild wind blows
(wild wind blows)
G C Am D
Too Tall Annie kept her money
G C Am D
In a Bible she never read.
G C Am D
They found Lefty, her first ex-husband
G C Am D
In his new pick-up truck at the bottom of the river bed.
CHORUS
BRIDGE: G - C - Am7 - G - G - C - Am - Am7 - C - Am7 - G
G C Am D
Luther Martin, he ain’t got nobody,
G C Am D
But he sells papers and buys his wine.
G C Am D
His great-granddaddy owned half of Main Street;
G C Am D
Luther’s daddy didn’t have a dime.
CHORUS
G C Am D
Ain’t no secret Old Doc Skinner
G C Am D
Wrote prescriptions; made lots of friends.
G C Am D
He could dance like nobody’s business;
G C Am D
Folks around here, are sure missin’ him.
CHORUS
FINISH: G - C - Am7 - G - G - C - Am - Am7 - C - Am7 - G
