Big Wind chords by Porter Wagoner

C
From daylight till dusk we've been a working in the dust

               G7              C
Picking cotton working side by side


Well I can't forget yes I remember yet

                 G7               C
The way my daddy looked at me and cried




Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

                G7          C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

                        G7            C
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all




Well I ran across the field so scared my lips was sealed

                   G7              C
To warn my mom the storm is on its way


Well I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mammy's face

                G7               C
And the way she looked at me and said




Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

                G7          C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

                        G7            C
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all



Oh but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yellow

                       G7         C
The wind was a blowing trees were falling


And outside I heard him crying and as he lay there dying

                  G7             C
It seemed I could still hear him calling



Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

                G7          C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

                        G7            C
