Bob Seger - Against the Wind

Intro

Vox on the 1 on “seems”

It seems like yesterday

But it was long ago

C	G
Janey was lovely, she was the	queen of my nights

D	C
There in the darkness with the	radio, playing low and

And the secrets that we shared

The mountains that we moved

C	G
Caught like wildfire	out of control

	C	D
‘Til there was n	othing left to burn and nothing left to p	rove

Vox on the 1 of the chord (3 of the key) on “reMEMber”

	Em	D	G
And I re	member	what she said	to me

	Em	C	G
How she	swore that it	never would end

	Em	D	C
I	remember how she	held me, o	h so tight

C	D
Wish I didn’t know now what I	didn’t know then

G	Bm	C	G
Against the	wind,	we were running against the	wind

	C	Bm	Am	C	G
We were	young and st	rong, we were ru	nning aga	inst the wi	nd

And the years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

C	G
Surrounded by strangers I	thought were my friends

D	C
I found myself further and fur	ther from my home and I

Guess I lost my way

There were oh, so many roads

	C	G
I was	living to run, and	running to live

	C	D
Never	worrying about paying, or even how	much I owed

	Em	D	G
Movin’	eight miles a	minute for months at a	time

	Em	C	G
Breaking	all of the	rules that would	bend

Em	D	C
I began to	find myself	searching

	D
Searching for shelter a	gain and again

G	Bm	C	G
Against the	wind,	a little something against the	wind

	C	Bm	Am	C	G
I	found mys	elf seeking s	helter ag	ainst the w	ind

Piano solo

G	G	Bm	Bm	C	G	D	C
G	G	Bm	Bm	C	G	C	D	D

	Em	D	G
Well those	drifter’s	days are past me	now

	Em	C	G
I’ve got	so much	more to think a	bout

Em	D	C
Deadli	nes and commi	tments

	D
What to leave in,	what to leave out

G	Bm	C	G
Against the	wind,	I’m still running against the	wind

	C	Bm	Am	C	G
I’m	older	now but still r	unning ag	ainst the w	ind

Hole the V for an extra measure after “running”
