******************** A RESTLESS WIND *********************

written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.



Verse 1:
      D                              Bm 
	A stone thrown from Heaven,skippin' 'cross the water
         E                                 A
	Would disappear in ripples left behind
           D                    Bm  
	A book with no cover,a rhyme with no reason
                   E                            A  
	Guess i'll always be one of the rovin' kind


Verse 2:
                D                            Bm
	'Cause movin's in my soul,i guess a gypsy boy got a hold
               E                        A  
	Of somebody in my family long ago
                 D                                    Bm 
	If some night while half asleep you hear the back door softly squeak
                E                                  A
	You'll touch my empty pillow,then you'll know


Chorus:
                      Bm       F#m         
	That restless wind,is calling me again
             E                             A
	Her warmin' hand is tuggin' at my soul
                  Bm       F#m   
	Summer's gone,and winter's comin' on
                E                                    A  
	And i can't let it catch me standin' in the cold


Verse 3:
      D                                        Bm 
	Life made dice out of my bones and it won't leave me alone
              E                                 A         
	'Till it warms me up and takes another roll
                        D                         Bm  
	You can't grow sullen every time,so there ain't no use in cryin'
                  E                         A
	It don't take an educated head to know


Verse 4:
                  D                            Bm 
	When i'm movin' down the road i won't need no overload
             E                           A 
	Nor memories of you to weigh my mind
            D                         Bm
	And every step i wade will be one more i could take
              E                                   A 
	That put those memories further down the line


Chorus.
