Listening To The Wind

Merle Haggard


Tom: C

C                F
Listening to the wind
                              C
Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend
                       G7
Wishing you and I were close again
                 C
Listening to the wind

CHORUS 1.

                 A#  F
Listening to the bre-eze
                           C
As it whispers through the poplar trees
                    G7
Do you think I mean way back then
                     C
Do you listen to the wind

Verse 2.

                 F
Listening to the night
                                  C
Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight
                      G7
I can almost hear the stars so bright
                 C
Listening to the night

CHORUS 2.

                 A#  F
Listening to the so-unds
                          C
Of a highway through some distant town
                      G7
I can almost hear the pale moon light
                     C
Do you listen to the night

Verse 3.

                F
Listening to my mind
                                      C
Searching through my thoughts for the perfect time
                     G7
Using tricks and telepathy at times
                      C
Do you listen to your mind

CHORUS 3.

                 A#  F
Listening to the bre-eze
                           C
As it whispers through the poplar trees
                       G7
Wishing you and I were close again
                      C
Just listening to the wind
