Intro: (E) (A) (B) (E)

I know a (E) sad song singer who (A) plays a gut-stringer
With (B) vagabond fingers that follow his (E) mind
To far away places he (A) reaches for traces
And (B) touches the faces he's long left be(E)hind

He'll keep you from knowing where he's been or going
You'll see the distance right there in his eyes
Just short of stealing he'll take your feelings
Pull at your heart strings till they come untied.
 
  Cause, (A) there was a woman who (E) made him turn lonesome
  Her (B) memory turns over and over a(E)gain
  And, he's (A) like an old stallion who's (E) longing for freedom
  (B) Trying to outrun the (E) wind

Well I've laughed with the sunshine cried with the rains
I've had some bad nights with the best of the blues
And I go on pretending with long haired women
I still get crazy when I think of you

Repeat Chorus

(A) Like an old stallion who's (E) longing for freedom
(B) Trying to outrun the (E) wind
