Against The Wind Uke tab by Bob Seger (Baritone Chords)

INTRO & BRIDGE: G

VERSE 1:
G
  It seems like yesterday,
Bm
   but it was long ago.
C                               G
  Janey was lovely; she was the queen of my nights,
D                              C
There in the darkness with the radio   playing low.   And the
G
  Secrets that we shared
Bm
  the mountains that we moved,
C                    G
Caught like wildfire out of control  -  Till there was
C                                      D
nothin left to burn and nothin left to prove.     And I re-
Em     D                G
member what she said to me. . .  How she
Em            C           G
swore that it never would end.     I re-
Em             D         C
member how she held me,  oh so tight.
C                             D
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

CHORUS:
G             Bm        C                              G
  Against the wind.       We were   runnin against the wind.  We were
C       Cmaj9              Am7        C            G
young and strong;  we were runnin a-gainst the   wind.

VERSE2:
And the years rolled slowly past.
And I found myself alone.
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends.
I found myself further and further from my home.  And I
Guess I lost my way.
There were oh, so many roads.
I was livin' to run, and runnin' to live,
Never worryin' about payin', or even how much I owed.
Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time.
Breakin' all of the rules that would bend.
I begin to find myself just searchin'...
Searchin' for shelter again and again.

CHORUS 2:
Against the wind.   A little somethin' against the wind.
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.

VERSE 3:
(Solo for 1st 2 stanzas of verse)
Well those drifter's days are past me now.  I've got
so much more to think about.
Deadlines and commitments.
What to leave in,  What to leave out.

CHORUS 3:
Against the wind.   I'm still runnin' against the wind.
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind.

OUTRO:
         C    Cmaj9           Am7         C
Well I'm older now and still runnin' a-gainst the wind.
(alternate G & C to fade)
Against the wind.  Against the wind.  Against the wind  -- still running.
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind.
Against the wind -- I'm still running.
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind.
Against the wind -- still running.
Against the wind -- running against the wind -- running against the wind
Against the wind -- see the young man run.
Against the wind -- watch the young man run.
Against the wind -- watch the young man running.
Against the wind -- he'll be running against the wind.
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the wind -- Oooh
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the wind -- they'll be riding again the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind.
Against the wind -- riding against the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind.
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride -- against the wind.
