A G F#
I don’t have time for your tears
It’s kinda hard to explain
I got a bird in my brain
I got a dog in my ear
                        E
I could be gone for a year

Chorus:
D                  A
Where the wind is going
F#           E
Indiana or Spain
D                  A
Where the wind is going
F#    E               D
I cannot get in that line
           B            F#
Get to my suffering on time

I hear the whistling outside
I think you think its a witch
She'll be scratching my itch
She'll be brushing my hide
I feel like takin' a ride

Chorus:
Where the wind is going
If I'm broke then I'll bitch
Where the wind is going
I cannot get in that line
Get to my suffering on time

             D  E  F#
Through the barleycorn
             A        D    E     F#
Through the rows of places I was born
      A       E
Into Babel’s maze
         D    E  F#
In that dark design
           A    D     E     F#
Where the neon red of exit signs
          A      E
Leads my simple gaze

Chorus:
Where the wind is going
Where the wind is going
I cannot get in that line
Get to my suffering on time

Through the barleycorn
Through the rows of places I was born
Into Babel's maze
In that dark design
Where the neon red of exit signs
Leads my simple gaze, yeah

Down that river side
Where from loneliness I often died
And so many times I will be raised
