  5   -5    6  -5   5   -5   -3  5  -3
There are some who can still re-mem-ber
 3  -3    6     -5  5   -5  5  6
All the things that we used to do.
 3  -3   6   -5  5    -5   -3   5   -3
But the days of our youth were num-bered
-3  -3   6   -5   5   -5  5   5   5
And the ones who sur-vive it are few.
-5 -5 -5    6    7    7    -7   7   7 6-5  
Oh, I can still see their smil-ing fac-es
 -5  -4   -5    -4  -5   6
When the times were to good
-5  -5 -5   6  7  -7   7   7  6-5
All in the old fa-mil-iar plac-es
 6  -5  7   6 -5  6-55 -3  5  
I'd go back if I could to the
 6  -5  -3  5    6    -5
Peo-ple of the South Wind. 
-3  5   6  -5  -3  5    6   -5   5
To the peo-ple of the South-ern Wind.
-3  5   6  -5  -3  5    6    -5 
To the peo-ple of the South Wind.
-3  5   6  -5  -3  5    6   -5   5
To the peo-ple of the South-ern Wind.

 6    6   7  -7  -7  7   -7
It's the Peo-ple of the Wind, 
7 -7  7  -7  -7   7  -7
I got to be there a-gain.

 -3    -3 -3   6    -5  5   -5  -3  5  -3
Well, it's a hard thing to face the mu-sic.
 3   -3    6    6   -5  5  -5  5
But it's some-thing ev-‘ry-bod-y 
 5   6  5  -5
has got to do.
3 -3   6   6  -5  5  -5  5   -3  5  -3
So I hope that I can al-ways re-mem-ber
-3  -3   6   6  -5   5  -5  5  5     5
All the craz-y times we had to go through.
-5   -5 -5   6     7  7   -7  7   7  6-5
Now it's a dream that is slow-ly fad-ing.
-5 -4  -5   -4  -5  6
Oh I don't want to go.
-5  -5 -5   6    7   -7  7 -7  6-5
All of the mem-‘ries are e-vad-ing
 6 -5  7    6  -5 6-55  -3   5
And I want you to know it's the
 6  -5  -3  5    6    -5
Peo-ple of the South Wind. 

6    6   7  -7  -7  7   -7
It's the Peo-ple of the Wind, 
7 -7  7  -7  -7   7  -7
I got to be there a-gain.


Now we've traveled across the oceans
And we've seen what there is to see.
But I guess it's not the proper solution
Cause it's all about the same to me.
Now I look back and it makes me wonder
Why we just couldn't see
All of the battles we fought and won there
And wish that I could be with the

People of the Wind
I want to see'em again
It's where we used to be free
And that's the place for me.
It's just a state of mind
A thing that's so hard to find
With the People of the Wind.
