G D/G Am/G
I had a dream, but dreams had other plans for me
Em Bm
For 30 years I set the thermostat
Em Bm
Where Frank Sinatra liked it,
Am Em
Pulled his girls and hung his hats
Am Em
I never knew which ones were mine
Bm D D7
Now he's gone, and I'm alone
CHORUS:
G
And I don't know where I might be going
Bm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing
Am
Set me on the roadside coming home
D Em C D
But home, for me was always someone else you know
Em C D
That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down
Gmaj9 C/D

VERSE:
G D/G Am/G
I shook the hands, mafia dons and presidents
Em Bm
And though they always smile politely
Em Bm
With a measure of decorum
Am Em
Still their eyes would scan beyond me
Am Em
For a glimpse of something more
Bm
But now he's gone,
D D7
Now they're gone
CHORUS:
G
And I don't know where I might be going
Bm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing
Am
Set me on the roadside coming home
D Em C D
But home, for me was always someone else you know
Em C D
That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down

Alone, the shadow of a star, don't you know
Em C D
That shadows always fall, yeah shadows always fall,
When the sun goes down
CHORUS:

And I don't know where I might be going
Bm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing

Set me on the roadside coming home
