The Wind Blew Cold

	  		  

          D      
Well, I was standing on a corner 

At a flat-ironed building in Nashville, North Carolina 
G 
Waiting for a woman that was putting me down 
                      D                          A          D 
And leaving me way behind and the wind was cold,   the wind blew cold 

            
I walked around the corner 

To have a cup of coffee and I met a good buddy instead 
G 
We both crossed the river for a shot of white lightning 
                           D                          A          D 
And it moves me out of my head and the wind was cold,   the wind blew  

cold 
   
                             G 
I can't forget that lonesome day 
         A              D    
Nothing seemed to go my way 
                              G 
I got put down by the woman I love 
                  D           A                 D 
And the wind blew cold, Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold 


Started walking and I thumbed across 

The Hotspring Mountains there in Knoxville, Tennessee 
  G 
I hear a freight train was a-landing before the wind blow 
                      D                         A             D 
And no one talking to me and the wind was cold,   the wind blew cold 


A couple of fellows and a log truck moving 

Took me to the Tennessee line 
   G   
We got to talking and a-drinking over troubles 
                        D                          A             D 
On a bottle of homemade wine and the wind was cold,  the wind blew cold 

                             G 
I can't forget that lonesome day 
         A              D    
Nothing seemed to go my way 
                              G 
I got put down by the woman I love 
                  D           A                 D 
And the wind blew cold, Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold 
                  D 
And the wind blew cold 
      A                 D 
Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold
