As recorded by Parker McCollum
(2026 release)


Capo 4th fret


[Intro]
Cmaj7       Em


[Verse 1]
                        Cmaj7
I wish I had what you desire
                        G
Lie and leave me in the fire
        Em                 Cmaj7
Yeah, I never know it to begin
                                     Em
I never should have made the wind my friend
            Cmaj7                  G
Should have never made the wind my friend


[Verse 2]
        Em                         Cmaj7
Yeah, a man can stumble, a man can walk
                              G
I'll always feel that it's my fault
     Em                      Cmaj7
If a man becomes who he runs with
                                     Em
I never should have made the wind my friend
              Cmaj7                  G
I should have never made the wind my friend


[Chorus]
          Am7                         D
There's a part of me that can't stand still
       Em                       Cmaj7
Once I find out how free flying feels
       Am7                  D
Like a storm I come and go again
             Em                        Cmaj7
I guess I'll always be how I've always been
                             D       Em
I never should have made the wind my friend
              Cmaj7                  G
I should have never made the wind my friend


[Interlude]
Em D  C     G


[Verse 3]
   Em                         Cmaj7
My head is hard as the day is long
                                    G
The breeze I rode in, I'll ride out on
    Em                     Cmaj7
I'm just a whisper on your skin
                                     Em
I never should have made the wind my friend
              Cmaj7                  G
I should have never made the wind my friend


[Chorus]
          Am7                         D
There's a part of me that can't stand still
       Em                       Cmaj7
Once I find out how free flying feels
       Am7                  D
Like a storm I come and go again
             Em                        Cmaj7
I guess I'll always be how I've always been
                             D       Em
I never should have made the wind my friend
              Cmaj7                  G
I should have never made the wind my friend
  C                                Em
I never should have made the wind my friend


[Outro]
Em       Cmaj7
