[Verse]
G Em D
That morning sky gave me a look
C/G G
So i left while you were sleeping
D
that's all it took
G Em D
and i chalked a line south down the coast
C/G G
going where my thirst was open
D
for the things that i dont know
C/G G
going where i wasnt paying
D
for the hurt that i owe
Em D
G Em D
one half moon sleeping by the creeks
C/G G
and a woman put me under
D
her barn roof for a week
G Em D
i knew her voice before she spake
C/G G
i saw a grave dug by a preacher
Em D
just to see what it would make
[Chorus]
C G
so hold high how faint your reasons
Em D
(boy, you'll never get on)
C G
don't you forget you come from nothing
Em D
(boy, you'll never get on)
C G
that wind is calling my name
Em D C G Em D
i wont wait or ill never get on
Em D
G Em D
its not hard to live like a ghost
C/G G
i just haunt all that ive wanted
D
and leave what i don't
G Em D
i dreamt a trail up to the sky
C/G G
and my brothers built propellers
Em D
just to see how far they'd fly
[Chorus]
C G
so hold high how faint your reasons
Em D
(boy, you'll never get on)
C G
your flashing sparrows chasing with them
Em D
(boy, you'll never get on)
C G
dont you forget you come from nothing
Em D
(boy, you'll never get on)
C G
that wind is calling my name
Em D C G Em D
i wont wait or i'll never get on
[Interlude]
C G Em D x2
(sung without guitar, chords are written in case you wish to play them)
C G
that wind is calling my name
Em D C G Em D
i wont wait or i'll never get on
C G Em D
so hold high how faint your reasons
C G Em D
Hold up high how faint your reasons
C G Em D
so hold high how faint your reasons
C G
that wind is calling my name
Em D C G Em D
