F                     Dm
In the middle of the summer
A#        Am
I'm not sleeping
Gm          F
Cold wind blowing
F                    Dm
In the middle of the night They
 A#     Am
try to find me,
    Gm          F
But I'm still driving

If you're going to San Francisco
Lay some flowers on the gravestone
There's music on the station
But I'm just listening to cold wind whistling

Chorus:
                 Dm
And if they ever find me
A#        Am      Gm
Tell the papers, cold wind, cold wind
                 F
Cold cold wind blowing cold wind blowing

     F          Dm Bm
ohh Hey hey hey!
                Am
Something ain't right
Gm               F
Something ain't right (Hey hey hey!)

Chorus
