🎸 Verse 1:
F                                                A# D#
Get in the car she said and drive me into next week
F                                                 A# D#
I should have turned her down, blame my curious streak
F                                            A# D#
I never dreamt that we’d be driving into trouble
F                                         A# D#
Until we hit a rock that bent my nose double

🎸 Chorus:
C                                  Gm
I’d say we both were on run, run, run
C                                          Gm
She looked too fresh for twenty-one, one, one
C                                             Dm
She slipped her little hand in mine, mine, mine
             Gm          A   A#                         F    Dm
Said I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine, whine
     Gm          A   A#                          F
I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine

🎸 Verse 2:
F                                                A# D#
Ah the wheels were moaning, we were heading ninety-five
F                                          A# D#
The rain was beating down, my engine was alive
F                                             A# D#
The roads were empty as the day turned into night
F                                       A# D#
With every street lamp her face shone white

🎸 Chorus:
C                                               Gm
I asked her name and she just smiled, smiled, smiled
C                                               Gm
We must have clocked a thousand miles, miles, miles
C                                             Dm
She said we’ll be there in a while, while, while
Gm          A   A#                     F         Dm
I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine, whine
Gm          A   A#                  F
I’ll take you where the wind don’t whine

🎸 Verse 3:
F                                       A# D#
I was feeling weary when the car died on me
F                                                A# D#
I pulled her over and the strength just drained from me
F                                             A# D#
The price of running’s getting dearer and dearer
F                                           A# D#
And nothing ever seems to get nearer and nearer

🎸 Chorus:
C                                             Gm
I suppose I didn’t make the grade, grade, grade
C                                               Gm
When I looked around she’d slipped away, ‘way, ‘way
C                                             Dm
Out in the night you’ll see her shine, shine, shine
Gm         A   A#             F          Dm
Waiting where the wind don’t whine, whine
Gm         A   A#              F          Dm
Waiting where the wind don’t whine, whine
Gm         A   A#                  F
Waiting where the wind don’t whine
