 Verse:

  (Am)      Cadd9
 I love the pounding of hooves

 I love engines that roar

   Am                     Cadd9
 I love the wild music of waves on the shore

         Am     C               G            Fmaj7
 and the spiral perfection of a hawk when it soars

 Cadd9               Am
 love my sweet woman down to the core


 There's roads and there's roads
 and they call, can't you hear it?
 road of the earth and roads of the spirit
 the best roads of all are the ones that aren't certain
 one of those is where you'll find me till they drop the big curtain



 Refrain:

 G
 Hear the wind moan

         6-3   5-0  5-2  Am 
 in the bright diamond  sky

       Fmaj7
 these mountains are waiting

 G
 brown-green and dry


 I'm too old for the term

          6-3  5-0  5-2  Am 
 but I'll use  it  anyway

           Fmaj7
 I'll be a child of the wind


 till the end of my days



 Little round planet in a big Universe
 sometimes is looks blessed
 sometimes it looks cursed
 depends on what you look at obviously
 but even more it depends on the way that you see
