Verse:
D5                  G5          D5
To old cowboys the wind often whispers
D5                                C5
Sweet reminders of where they belong
       D5         C5          G5    G5   D5
On the back of a horse in a worn-out saddle
C5                       D5
Singin' a sweet country song
C5                       D5
Singin' a sweet country song

Intro riff: x2

To old cowboys the wind often whispers
D5                                 C5
Some remember the right and the wrong
        D5             C5    G5     G5  D5
Trust a good wind and gun, don't be stupid, 'cause a
C5                      D5      
Bad wind is wicked and strong

A bad wind is wicked and strong

Chorus:
D5                         G5           D5
And those big winds still blow across Wyoming

To old cowboys, it's all they've ever known
D5                         G5               D5
How those big winds still blow across Wyoming

From Cheyenne clear to Yellowstone
     D5   C5                   D5

solo: 
messes around riff at first, just listen
G diatonic is played
play chorus chords over banjo solo

They'll be no place left for you and I

Chorus

D5 C5  C5 G5  D5
