There's a black wind blowing... a typhoon on the rise...
Em             A    Em             A
Pummeling rain... murderous skies!
          Em            A            Em           A
I'm gonna take my books... I'm gonna wear my coat...
          Em            A               Em             A
I'm gonna find my scarf... and wrap it around my throat...
             C                           A
And you can come with me... through the driving snow
            G       G/F#  Em          A
We're gonna ride on up to... Medicine Bow

Well I spent too long... just stuck on the shore...
          Em             A               Em          A
There's a man in my head... but he isn't me anymore...
           Em            A      Em             A
I'm gonna find me a ship... stowaway on a boat...
           Em           D         C           Bm          A
I'm gonna burn all the words and letters and cards that I ever wrote
             C                         A
And you can sail with me... where the current flows
            G       G/F#  Em          A
We're gonna move on up to... Medicine Bow

Em A

    C                           Em
I'm gonna change my colours... cancel my things...
 C                    A
Stop my squawking... grow some wings!
       Em             A         Em           A
Well I will not sleep... and I will not rest...
        Em        A          Em              A
I will put my soul... and my will to the test...
           Em              A            Em             A
I'm gonna tug at my tether... I'm gonna tear at my lead...
           Em               A          Em             A
I'm gonna test my knowledge... in the field of deeds...
             C                         A
And you can run with me... as fast as we can go
G        G/F#    Em          A
Over the hill to... Medicine Bow
