WILD WIND 
Words and Music by Kate Power
 
Bb                       F                            Eb    F      Bb
At the foot of the mountain stands a high, high tree
                                              Eb F
Its branches reach up to the sky,
             Bb              F                       Eb   F        Bb
While a red-crested bird leaves her nest in the lee
                                F                Bb
And from the tallest branch she cries...
 
 
CHORUS:
       Gm   F                        Eb Bb                      
"Oh wild wind, won't you blow
,                                            Eb                          F
And carry me to my love, / I know not where to go,
    Gm      F   Eb                     Bb                   D
I'll spread my wings / on your windy back I'll ride
      Eb          F                    Bb      Eb F
Oh, old wise wind won't you blow"
 
             Bb                  F                       Eb       F            Bb
On the banks by the bay where the mossy mussels lay
                                                             Eb F
And the castle on the hill meets the sky
             Bb               F                  Eb       F             Bb
There a red-haired girl fetches dinner from the sea
        Eb                       F                        Bb
And walking out the jetty rocks, she cries...
 
       Gm  F                         Eb Bb
"Oh wild wind, won't you blow...


           Bb               F                     Eb       F          Bb  
On the road by the wood, there a simple cottage lies
                                                      Eb              F
Of thatch and painted windows, inviting me to bide.
             Bb                     F                  Eb          F            Bb
The old widow man within it, with his pipe and twinkling eye,
         Eb                  F                          Bb
While stoking up the embers there, he cries...
 
      Gm  F                       Eb  Bb
"Oh wild wind, won't you blow,


             Bb                        F                            Eb      F       Bb
Oh the cattle with their shepherd and the fishes in the deep
                                                       Eb                    F
They have no cause for sorrow, no love will trouble thee.
   Bb                 F                        Eb         F        Bb
If I could be a blackbird in the tallest oaken tree
          Eb                        F                 Bb
There from its highest branch, I'd cry...
 
         Gm F                        Eb Bb
"Oh wild wind, won't you blow.
