The Desert Rose Band was an American country rock band from California, founded in 1985 by Chris Hillman (formerly of The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers), and Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson. Also in the original lineup were Bill Bryson (bass guitar), Jay Dee Maness (pedal steel guitar), and Steve Duncan (drums). Herb sang the high tenor part above Chris' tenor and each Desert Rose Band album featured Herb on one lead vocal. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the band charted several singles on the U.

Desert Rose Band Second Wind written by Chris Hillman
FBbF Just like a sailor adrift on the sea C I've been waiting for a southern breeze FBbF Just when my patience started wearing thin CFEbBbF You've given me my second wind FBbF All of my life I spent chasing a dream C Flying so high I ran out of steam FBbF I was led to believe I would never fit in CF You've given me my second wind DmAmGmCDm Hear the warning heed the cry of a desperate mourning AmGmC For a love that's died FBbF Oh I've got a reason to start living again CFEbBbF You've given me my second wind^?
SOLO
FBbF Just like a leaf floating in the air C A homeless heart so full of despair FBbF And I found you a long lost friend CF You've given me my second wind DmAmGmCDm Hear the warning heed the cry of a desperate mourning AmGmC For a love that's died FBbF Oh I've got a reason to start living again CFEbBbF You've given me my second wind
