G F C And I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind Chorus: G Some one cut me down from here F C I can't prove what don't exist G Did you feel the same as I? Am G Or was there something I might have missed? F C I turned my back on everyone F C Who wanted me to win F C I needed you so bad, I guess Am G That's the way I was back then G F C Now I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind Verse 2 I believe I'll go down to the bridge And watch the trains roll by See the sparks fly from their wheels Where the rocks and the cinders lie The weight I feel inside tonight Could put a freight train in a spin And I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind Repeat Chorus Verse 3 Love made a fool of me At the gates of the guillotine I can't believe I heard the Truth Comin' from your answering machine How did I become this broken man? Was I too blind to bend? Now I, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind I, yi yi yi, I'm just Twistin' in the Wind G Some one cut me down from here F C I been Hangin' here too long G Release me from the Binds of Love F C I can't tell Right from Wrong Note - The C-Em7-Am-G-F progression at the start of the verses should be played by initially plucking the bass (either 2nd or 1st) string first.
