When the wind backs around
B E F#m
To the north in November

Wild geese go a-ganging out to sea

There's snow on the wind

And it's ever been the same
A B
That north wind don't even know my name
A E A E
That north wind don't even know my name

Long time ago
B E
I had a pretty little girl
A F#m7 B
She had pretty ways and silver in her tongue
E F#m E
But that winter wind come prowling around
A E
That pretty girl did go
A B
She found a man whose house was snug and warm
A E A
A man whose house was warm in the wind and snow

When the wind backs around

Now the days come 'round
B E F#m
I've got another kind of woman
A F#m7 B
She's got no teasing eyes and her tongue is still
E F#m E
And she likes the snowflakes falling
A E
She doesn't mind the rain
A B
She knows what's in her heart like she knows her name
A E
She knows what's in her heart like she knows her name
[Verse]
E A
I'll build her a house
B E
Of the winds of November
A F#m7 B
Shingled with the sun along the shore
E
With the wind for her blanket
A E
The rain will be her door
A B
The pine for her pillow and her floor
A E
The pine for her pillow and her floor
