The Wayward Wind:Frank Ifield. #1 in UK in1963. CHORUS: E A Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind, E B7 a restless wind, that yearns to wander. E A And I was born the next of kin.. E B7 E the next of kin...to the wayward wind. #2. E In a lonely shack by a railroad track, I spent my younger days. And I guess the sound of the 'outward-bound,' B7 E made me a slave, to my wandering ways. CHORUS: E A Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind, E B7 a restless wind, that yearns to wander. E A And I was born the next of kin.. E B7 E the next of kin...to the wayward wind. #3. F Oh, I met a girl in a border town.. I vowed we'd never part. Though I tried my best to settle down.. C F She's now alone with a broken heart. CHORUS: F Bb Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind, F C7 a restless wind, that yearns to wander. F Bb And I was born the next of kin.. OUTRO: F C7 F the next of kin...to the wayward wind.(x2) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
