Against the Wind Bob Seeger G / Bm C G D C It seems like yesterday / But it was long ago Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio playing low G / Bm C G D And the secrets that we shared / The mountains that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove Em D G / Em C G Em D C C D And I remember what she said to me / How she swore that it never would end I remember how she held me oh so tight Wish I didnt know now what I didn't know then G Bm / C G C Am7 C / C G Against the wind / We were runnin against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin / Against the wind And the years rolled slowly past / And I found myself alone Surrounded bv strangers I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home And I guess I lost my way / There were oh so many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or even how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time / Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find myself searchin Searching for shelter again and again Against the wind / A little something against the wind I found myself seeking shelter against the wind Well those drifters days are past me now / Ive got so much more to think about Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out Against the wind / Im still runnin against the wind Well Im older now and still / Against the wind
