Verse 1:

     C
As I travel down the back roads,
        Am     G       F
Of this home I love so much,
      C             Am
Every carpenter and cowboy,
      Dm             G
Every lame many on a crutch.

            F               Em
They're all talking about a feelin',
        F                   G
'Bout a taste that's in the air,
            F
They're all talking about,
     C      Am
This mighty wind,
       F       G     C
That's blowin' every-where.

Chorus 1:

     Bb             F
Oh a mighty winds a blowin',
     Bb             F
It's kickin' up the sand,
     Am
It's blowin' out a message,
         D7               Bb  G
To every woman, child and man.

      Bb             F
Yes a mighty winds a blowin',
          C        C/B       Am G
Cross the land and cross the se-ea,
     F                 C    Am
It's blowin' peace and free-dom,
     F         G     C
It's blowin' e-quali-ty.

Verse 2: (The Folksmen)

       C                  Am
From a lighthouse in Barr Harbor,
     G                    F
To a bridge called Golden Gate,
       C               Am
From a trawler down in Shreveport,
       Dm                 G
To the shore of one great lake.

          F               Em
There's a star on the hor-izon,
         F              G
And it's burning like a flame,
     F                C      Am
It's lighting up this mighty wind,
       F       G     C
That's blowin' every-where.

Chorus 2:

     Bb             F
Oh a mighty winds a blowin',
     Bb             F
It's kickin' up the sand,
     Am
It's blowin' out a message,
         D7               Bb   G
To every woman, child and man.

      Bb             F
Yes a mighty winds a blowin',
          C        C/B       Am G
Cross the land and cross the se-ea,
     F                 C    Am
It's blowin' peace and free-dom,
     F         G     C
It's blowin' e-quali-ty.

Verse 3: (Mitch & Mickey)

         C                  Am
When the blind man sees the picture,
         G                  F
When the deaf man hears the word,
         C               Am
When the fisherman stops fishing,
         Dm                G
When the hunter spares the herd.

            F                 Em
We'll still hear the wondrous story,
     F                  G
Of a world where people care,
    F             C      Am
The story of this mighty wind,
       F       G     C
That's blowin' every-where.

Chorus 3:

     Bb             F
Oh a mighty winds a blowin',
     Bb             F
It's kickin' up the sand,
     Am
It's blowin' out a message,
         D7               Bb  G
To every woman, child and man.

      Bb             F
Yes a mighty winds a blowin',
          C        C/B       Am G
Cross the land and cross the se-ea,
     F                 C    Am
It's blowin' peace and free-dom,
     F       G       C   G  C
It's blowin' you and me.
