A                                D           A
When I'm needin' a friend, I can talk to the wind.
               D          A
God I sure am glad that I found him.
          E                        A
Sometimes he seems to be, the only one beside me.
        E
who can feel the Lord's breath all around him.
         F#m                  D              A
Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day.
     G                         D        E
On a warm summer night you can hear him say.
 
Chorus:  A       E   A        D   A      D       E
         Cry for me, sigh for me, sad my breezes blow.
A        E   A        D   A           D            E
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know.
   G      D         A
My lonely wind must blow.
 
A                           D                 A
Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign.
                        D       A
He'll leave nothing but only to hear him.
              E                            A
I've seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow,
            E
and that's all the more reason I fear him.
         F#m
Hear him call for the earth lonely,
  D                  A
I can feel his great pain.
           G                         D         E
But on the eve of this day I'll join in his refrain.
 
Chorus:  A       E   A        D   A      D       E
         Cry for me, sigh for me, sad my breezes blow.
A        E   A        D   A           D            E
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know.
   G      D         A
My lonely wind must blow.
 
A                              D             A
When I'm needing a friend I'll remember the wind,
                          D           A
and my life here with the breezes of sorrow.
        E                             A
I'll be leaving him soon 'cause I've got to make room,
         E
for the lonely that will find him tomorrow.
     F#m                        D          A
On a black stormy night in your bosom I'll cling,
         G                            D               E
and I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing.
 
Chorus:  A       E   A        D   A      D       E
         Cry for me, sigh for me, sad my breezes blow.
A        E   A        D   A           D            E
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know.
   G      D         G      D
My lonely wind,  My lonely wind,
   G      D         A
My lonely wind must blow.
