WIND BEHIND THE RAIN
As recorded by Jason Isbell
(2025 release)
[Intro]
G D Em7 Cadd9
G D Em7 Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G D
I knew you before we met
Em7 Cadd9
We don't need all the answers yet
G D
I'm sure time will change me some
Em7 Cadd9
You see what I could become
[Verse 2]
G D
So much left to figure out
Em7 Cadd9
I never took the easy route
G D
I was born with my boots on
Em7 Cadd9 G Am7
You take 'em off me when I'm gone?
[Chorus]
C
I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
G Dsus2
Like the prairies love the plains
Am7 C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
[Verse 3]
G D
I wanna see you smiling when you're ninety
Em7 Cadd9
And I'll always see you like you are right now
G D
All my wild beginnings are behind me
Em7 Cadd9
And I know that we can stick it out somehow
[Verse 4]
G D
Oh, I wanted you the first time that I saw you
Em7 Cadd9
In that bar where all my friends left me behind
G Dsus2
I wasn't even fishing when I caught you
Em7 Cadd9 G Am
But I always had your picture in my mind
[Chorus]
C
I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
G Dsus2
Like the prairies love the plains
Am7 C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
[Interlude]
G D Em C
G D Em C G Am
[Chorus]
C
I love you like the ocean loves the silver moon
G Dsus2
Like Frank and Jesse loved the train
Am C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
[Outro]
G Dsus2 Em Cadd9
G Dsus2 Em Cadd9
