THAT OL' WIND by Garth Brooks                 transcription by:
(Leigh Reynolds/Garth Brooks)                  Daniel Guenther
--------------------------------------------------------------
INTRO:  E   C#m   A   B7   E

                E
She dropped her boy at school on time
         C#m
One less worry on her mind
         A                E         B
Now it's off to work and on the radio
          E
Comes an old familiar song
             C#m
And then the D.J.'s voice comes on
                  A             B7              E
And says he's back in town tonight for one last show

     E
Her eyes well up with tears
             C#m
God could it be it's been ten years
           A                E                  B
Since that Autumn night outside the county fair
             E
When two strangers shared a night
           C#m
And in the darkness found a light
               A             B7             E
That to this day is still alive and burning there

C#m             A             B
He asked her twice to come along
C#m             A                    B
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
             E
'Cause you can't hold back the wind
        C#m
If it's meant to be again
          A                    B7             E
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms

BREAK:  A   B   E

         E
The marquee misspelled his name
           C#m
And not too many people came
A                E            B
But that didn't matter to them
                   E
They laughed and loved all through the night
            C#m
And as they faced the morning light
       A                 B7           E
They found themselves standing there again

C#m                 A             B
And he asked her twice to come along
C#m             A                    B
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
       E
As his bus left out she cried
         C#m
With him standing by her side
         A                B7              E
That ol' wind had once again found its way home

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:  E   C#m   A   E   B
                     E   C#m   A   B7  E

C#m             A                 E
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
C#m                  A                 E           B
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid
            E
For right now they're both in love
         C#m
The only thing they're thinkin' of
                  A                    B7              E
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been

ENDING:  REPEAT INSTRUMENTAL BREAK 3 TIMES AND FADE OUT
