Verse:
                            
To old cowboys the wind often whispers
                                
Sweet reminders of where they belong
                                 
On the back of a horse in a worn-out saddle
                       
Singin' a sweet country song
                       
Singin' a sweet country song

Intro riff: x2
                            
To old cowboys the wind often whispers
                                 
Some remember the right and the wrong
                                
Trust a good wind and gun, don't be stupid, 'cause a
                            
Bad wind is wicked and strong
                        
A bad wind is wicked and strong

Chorus:
                                    
And those big winds still blow across Wyoming
                                      
To old cowboys, it's all they've ever known
                                        
How those big winds still blow across Wyoming
                           
From Cheyenne clear to Yellowstone
                           
From Cheyenne clear to Yellowstone

solo: 
messes around riff at first, just listen
G diatonic is played
play chorus chords over banjo solo

                            
To old cowboys the wind often whispers
                                
Son, remember the sweet bye and bye
                                    
Remember the day 'cause there's times a comin'
                                    
They'll be no place left for you and I
                                    
They'll be no place left for you and I

Chorus

End on: 
      

Thanks much
