capo 2nd fret

opening riff G, C,  4-0, 4-2, 4-0, 5-3, 5-0, 6-3, repeat

G5                                                       D5
Now and then, it keeps you runnin', never seems to die.
B5                                               C5
Trail spent with fear and not enough livin' on the outside.
G5                                                 D5
Never seem to get far enough, stayin' in between the lines,
B5                                                         C5      G5
               C5
Hold on to what you can, waitin for the end, not knowin when,

chorus:
G5
May the wind take your troubles away
                                                        D5
may the wind take your troubles away
          C5                                G5
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel
D5                                                  G5
May the wind take your troubles away.

(solo with chorus chord progression)

D5                                                     C5              G5
Try and make it far enough, to the next time zone
D5
Few and far between past the midnight hour,
C5                      G5                                  E5
you never feel alone, you're really not alone.

(solo over chorus chords)

G5                             D5
Switch it over AM, searchin' for a truer sound
B5                                                        C5
can't recall the call letters, steel guitar and settle down
G5                                            D5
catchin' an all night station, somewhere in Louisiana
B5                                    C5      G5                    C5
Sounds like 1963 but for now,     sounds like heaven.

chorus plus repeat of first line, solo over remaining chorus chords,
then G5 - D5 - C5 - G5 - D5 - G5 and out.
