[E]
[Am] Someone's got it in for me.
[Em] They're planting [B] star rays in the [E] prayers.
[Am] Whoever it is, I wish they'd cut it out.
[E] But when [B] they will, I can only [E] guess.
[C#m] They say [E] I shot a man named Gray
[A] and took his [E] wife to Italy.
[C#m]
She [E] inherited a billion bucks,
[A] and when she died, it [E] came to me.
I [B] can't help it if [A] I'm lucky.
[Am] People see me all the time,
[Em] and they just can't [B] remember how [E] to act.
[Am] Their minds are filled with big [E] ideas,
images, [B] and [E] distorted facts.
[C#m]
Even [E] you yesterday,
[A] you had to ask me [E] where it was at.
[C#m]
I couldn't [E] believe after all these years,
[A] you didn't know me [E] any better than that.
[A] Sweet lady.
[E]
You idiot wind
[A]
blowing every time you move your [E] mouth
going [A]
down the back roads, heavy sound.
[E] You idiot wind
[A] blowing every time you move [E] your teeth.
You an [A] idiot, babe.
It's [E] a wonder that you [B] still [A] know how [E] to breathe.
[A]
[E] [A]
[E] [A]
[E]
[A] [Am] I threw the i-ching yesterday.
[E] It said there'd [B] be some thunder at the [E] well.
[Am] I haven't tasted peace and quiet [E] for so long.
It [B] seems like living [E] hell.
[C#m] There's a lone soldier [E] on the hill
[A] watching fallen [E] raindrops pour.
[C#m] You'd never [E] know it to look at him
[A] at the final shot he'd [E] won the war
[B] after losing [E]
[A] every battle.
[Am] I woke up on the roadside
[E] daydreaming [B] about the way things [E]
sometimes are.
[Am] Hoof beats pounding in my head
[E] at breakneck speed [B] and making me [E] see stars.
[C#m]
You hurt the [E] ones that I love [A] best
and cover up [E] the truth with lies.
[C#m] One day [E] you'll be in the ditch.
[A] Flies [E] buzzing around your eyes,
blood on your [A] saddle.
[E] You idiot wind
[A] blowing through the flowers on your [E] tomb,
[A] blowing through the curtains in [F#m] your room.
[E] You idiot wind
[A] blowing every time you [E] move your teeth.
You an [A] idiot, babe.
[E] It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
[A]
[E]
[A] [E]
[A] It [Am] was gravity which pulled us in
[Em] and [B] destiny which broke [E] us apart.
[Am] You tamed the lion in my cage,
[E] but it just [B] wasn't enough to [E] change my heart.
[C#m] Now [E] everything's a little upside [A] down.
As a matter of fact, the [E] wheels have stopped.
[C#m] What's good is bad, [E] what's bad is good.
[A] You'll find out [E] when you reach the top.
You're [A] on the bottom.
[Bm] I [Am] noticed at the ceremony
[E] that you left [B] your old bags [E] behind.
[Am] The driver came in after you left.
[Em] He gave them all to [B] me and then he [E] resigned.
[C#m] The priest wore black [E] on the seventh day
[A] and waltzed around while [E] the building burned.
[C#m] You didn't trust me [E] for a minute, [A] babe.
I've never known [E] the spring to turn [B] so quickly [A] into autumn.
[E] You idiot wind
[A]
Blowing every time you [E] move your jaw
from [A] the grand coulee down to the mighty [F#m] cross.
[E]
Idiot wind
[A] Blowing every time you [E] move your teeth.
You an idiot, [A] babe.

[A] [E]
[A] We [Am] pushed each other a little too [E] far
and one day it just [B] turned into a [E] raging storm.
[Am] A hound dog bade me on your [E] trees
as I was [B] packing up my [E] uniform.
[C#m] Oh, I figured I'd [E] lost you anyway.
[A] Why go on?
[E] What's the use?
[C#m] In order to get in [E] a word with you
[B] I'd have had to come [E] up with some excuse.
It just [B] struck me [E] [A] kind of funny.
[Am] I've been double-crossed too [E] much.
At times I [B] think I've almost lost [E] my mind.
[A] [E]
[Am]
Lady killers load dice on me [E]
behind my back
[B] while imitators steal [E] me blind.
[C#m] You close your [E] eyes and part your lips
[A] and slip your fingers [E] from your glove.
[C#m] You can [E] have the best there is
but [A] it's gonna cost you [E] all your love.
You won't get it [A]
for money.
[E]
Idiot wind
[A]
blowing through the buttons of [E] our coats
[A]
blowing through the letters that [B] we wrote.
[E]
Idiot wind
[A] blowing through the dust [E] upon our shelves.
We're idiots, [A] babe.
[E] It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
