[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Wind is warm as mother's milk, steady as a siren
Though my whiskers smell of soap, my pistol smells of iron
Dm
This front porch is higher than, the rest of this poor town
Am E Am
I piss every day away, watch the sun go down
Am
If I was a gamblin' man, the way I used to be
Those downtown gals would gather 'round, Just to watch the likes of me
Dm
And those lazy bones would tumble, Those lazy bones would roll
Am E Am
I'd pick out my downtown gal, give her all my gold
[Chorus]
Dm Am E Am
Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things
Dm Am E Am
All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
[Verse 2]
Am
Once a year this old hotel fills up at harvest time
Mexicans and Gypsy kids, mostly friends a mine
Dm
They all come in at sundown, fill my whiskey glass
Am E Am
They sit and sing a song with me, let the evenin' pass
Am
For in the old days I worked with them, I worked till the work was done
The crew we had back in those days, we where always number one
Dm
Northward with the seasons, Southward in the fall
Am E Am
Till I got hurt in the oil patch, Boys I had it all
[Chorus]
Dm Am E Am
Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a crazy things
Dm Am E Am
All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
[Solo]
Dm Am E Am Dm Am E Am
Dm Am E Am Dm Am E Am
[Verse 3]
Am
This year we had no rain at all, not a single crop came in
Nothin' moves on Main Street now but an Oklahoma wind
Dm
And I am just a shadow, of the man I used to be
Am E Am
And I wish I had someone to sing 'The Long Black Veil' with me
[Chorus]
Dm Am E Am
Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things
Dm Am E Am
All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
[Chorus]
Dm Am E Am
Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things
Dm Am E Am
All I know is that, if I had wings, I'd be gone by now
