[Verse 1]
Dsus2
He was born the first of three
                   F
Into a dirt poor family
Dsus2
Mom and dad they did provide
                     F   C
To help silence all those baby cries
Dsus2
Calloused hands that bled all day
                    F
He dreamed there was a better way
Dsus2                F  C              Dsus2
But the Zephyrs... the Zephyrs will blow

[Chorus]
        D
Daddy said that gentle wind son
       C
Let it guide you at your back
     G
No matter what the cards your dealt
       D                     Cadd9
Let it guide you on your path
D
You've may not seen a winning hand
C
But the day you are a man
G                                D              Cadd9   Dsus2
You'll know the Zephyrs... the Zephyrs will blow

[Verse 2]
Dsus2
He found a love so deep and true
                    F
And soon became a family
Dsus2
He pounded nails and built up dreams
                    F   C
With every year his family grew
Dsus2
He kept that wind upon his back
                         F
'Cause that's the thing he had to know
Dsus2                F  C               Dsus2
That the Zephyrs... the Zephyrs will blow

[Chorus]
   D
Daddy said that gentle wind son
       C
Let it guide you at your back
     G
No matter what the cards your dealt
       D                     Cadd9
Let it guide you on your path
D
You've may not seen a winning hand
C
But the day you are a man
G                                D              Cadd9   Dsus2
You'll know the Zephyrs... the Zephyrs will blow

[Verse 3]
Dsus2
Many years have come and gone now
Dsus2
They've lived so happily
Dsus2
Grandchild on his bony knee and his hands no longer bleed
                          F
He kept that gentle wind upon his back
Dsus2
And lived the words his daddy sowed...
Dsus2                F  C                Dsus2
And the Zephyers... the Zephyers will blow

You'll know the Zephyrs... the Zephyrs will blow
