Against The Wind
Bob Seger
Ton : G
GIt seems like yesterday,Bm but it was long ago
CJaney was lovely; she was the Gqueen of my nights.
DThere in the darkness with the Cradio, playing low.
GAnd the secrets that we shared, Bm the mountains that we moved
CCaught like wildfire Gout of control
'Till there was nCothing left to burn and Dnothing left to prove.
And I reEmmember what Dshe said to Gme, how she Emswore that it Cnever would Gend
I reEmmember how Dshe Cheld me, oh so tight.
CWish I didn't know now what I Ddidn't know then.
GAgainst the Bmwind. C We were runnin'against the wGind.
We were Cyoung and strong, we were Amrunnin'agCainst the wGind.
GAnd the years rolled slowly past, Bm and I found myself alone.
CSurrounded by strangers I Gthought were my friends.
DI found myself further and furthCer from my home.
GAnd I guess I lost my way, Bm there were oh, so many roads.
CI was living to run, and runningG to live,
Never wCorrying about paying, or Deven how much I owed.
Runnin'8Em miles a mDinute for months at a tGime, breaking aEmll of the rCules that would bGend
I begEmin to find mysDelf just Csearching, searching for shelter Dagain and again.
GAgainst the wBmind. A lCittle something against the Gwind.
I Cfound myself seeking Amshelter agCainst the Gwind.
Solo
Well those Emdrifter's Ddays are past me Gnow, I've got Emso much Dmore to think aGbout.
EmDeadliDnes and commitmCents, what to leave in, D What to leave out.
GAgainst the Bmwind, C I'm still runnin'against the wGind.
I'm oldeCr now but still Amrunnin'aCgainst the wiGnd.
Well I'Cm olde*r now and still Drunnin... against theC wind.
Against the Gwind. Against the Cwind. Against the Gwind -- still runnin'.
Against the Cwind -- I'm still runnin'against the wind.
Against the Gwind -- I'm still runnin'. Against the wind -- I'm still runnin'against the wind.
Against the wind -- still runnin'.
Against the wind -- runnin'against the wind -- runnin'against the wind
Against the wind -- see the young man run. Against the wind -- watch the young man run.
Against the wind -- watch the young man runnin'.
Against the wind -- he'll be runnin'against the wind.
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride. Against the wind -- Oooh
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride. Against the wind -- they'll be riding against the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind. Against the wind -- riding against the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind.
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride -- against the wind.
