Chords for Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind (Blood On The Tracks NYC Session - 1974) (Lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ Someone's got it in for me, [B] the planting stories in [E] the press. _ _
_ _ [Am] Whoever it is, I wish they'd cut it out, but [B] when they will, I can only [E] guess. _ _
_ _ They say I shot a man named Gray [A] and took his [E] wife to Italy.
_ She inherited [B] a million bucks, [A] and when she [E] died, it came to me.
I can't help it [A] if I'm lucky. _ _
_ _ [Am] People see me all the time, [B]
and they just can't remember how [E] to act. _ _
_ _ [Am] Their minds are filled with big ideas, [B] images, _ and [E] distorted facts.
_ _ And even you yesterday, _ [A] you had to ask me [E] where I was at.
[C#m] I couldn't [E] believe after all these [A] years, you didn't know [E] me any better than [B] that.
_ [E] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Blowing every time you [E] move your mouth,
_ _ _ [A] _ blowing down the back [F#m] roads heading [B] south. _ _
[E] _ Yeah, yeah.
_ _ [A] _
Blowing every time you [E] move your teeth, _
_ you need [A] it, babe.
[E] It's a wonder that [B] you still know how to [E] breathe. _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ I threw the itching yesterday.
[B] I said there might be some thunder at the [E] well. _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ Peace and quiet's been avoiding me [B] for so long it seems like living [E] hell. _
_ _ _ There's a lone soldier on the hill [A] watching fallen [E] raindrops pour.
[C#m]
You'd never [E] know it to look at him, [A] but at the final [E] shot, he'd won the war.
[F#] After losing [A] every battle, _ _ _ [Am] _ I woke up on the [E] roadside,
_ daydreaming [B] about the way things [E] sometimes are.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ Hoofbeats pounding in my head, [B] head break neck speed and making me see [E] stars.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] You hurt [E] the ones that I love best, [F#] cover [E] up the truth with lies.
[C#m] One day [E] you'll be in the ditch, [A]
flies buzzing [E] around your eyes,
[B] blood on your [A] saddle, _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
idiot wind.
_ [A] _ Blowing through the flowers [E] on your tomb, _ _ _
[A] _ blowing through the [F#m] curtains in your room, _ _ _ _ [E] _ idiot wind.
_ [A] _ Blowing every time you [E] move your teeth,
_ _ you need [A] it, babe.
It's [E] a wonder [F#] that you still know how to [E] breathe.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ It was gravity which pulled us in,
[E] _ and [B] destiny which broke us [E] apart. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] You tamed the lion in my [B] cage, but it just wasn't enough to change my [E] heart. _ _ _
_ _ Now everything's a little upside down, [A] as a matter of [E] fact the wheels have stopped.
What's good is bad, what's bad is [F#] good,
you'll find [E] out when you reach the [B] top, you're on [A] the bottom. _ _
_ _ [Am] _ I noticed at the [B] ceremony that you left all your bags [E] behind. _ _
_ _ [Am] The driver came in after you left, [B] he gave them all to me and then he [E] resigned. _
_ _ [C#m] The priest wore black [E] on the seventh day, [A] waltzed around while [E] the building [C#m] burned.
You didn't [E] trust me for a minute, babe,
[A] I've never known [E] the spring to [B] turn so quickly _ [A] into autumn. _
_ _ [E] _ _ Idiot wind, _
[A] _ blowing every time [E] you move your jaw,
_ _ _ [A] from the Grand Coulee [F#m] down to the Mardi Gras. _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ Idiot wind, _ [A] blowing every time you [E] move your teeth, _
_ you need _ [A] it, babe.
[E]
It's a wonder [B] that you still know [E] how to breathe.
We _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Am] _ pushed each other a little too far, [E] and one day I [B] just jumped into [E] a raging storm.
_ _ _ _ [Am] A hound dog bathed behind your trees, [E] as I was [B] packing up my [E]
uniform.
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ Figured I'd [E] lost you anyway, [A] why go on, [E] what's the use?
[C#m] In order to get in a word [E] with you, [A] I had to come [E] up with some [B] excuse.
That just struck me [A] kind of funny, _ _ [F#] _ _ [Am] I've been double-crossed too [E] much.
At times I [B] think I've almost lost [E] my mind.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
Lady killers load dice on me, [B] behind my back while imitators [E] steal me blind. _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] You close your [B] eyes and part your lips, [A] and slip your fingers [E] from the gun.
_ [C#m] You [E] can have the best there is, [A] but it's gonna cost you [E] all your love.
[B] You won't get it [A] for _ money. _ _
[E] _ _ Idiot wind, _ [A] _
blowing through the buttons [E] of our coats, _
_ _ [A] _ blowing through the letters that we wrote.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Idiot wind, _ [A] _ blowing through the dust [E] upon our shelves. _ _ _ _
_ Idiot [A] pain, [E] it's a wonder we can't even feed ourselves.
